Man City to Edge Past Struggling Foxes?

Leicester are in danger of suffering an instant return to the EFL Championship after collecting a mere 14 points from 18 games. After the Boxing Day results, the Foxes slipped into the bottom three.

Man City’s troubles continued as they failed to beat Everton at home. The champions have now won just one of their last nine Premier League matches, suffering six defeats along the way.

Guardiola’s men face a fight to finish in the UEFA Champions League places. Man City are in seventh after their slump in form, though things are tight from fifth downwards. The likes of Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth are above the Citizens.

Both teams are desperate for points, and this clash at the King Power will be fascinating. Can Leicester make home advantage count, or will Man City claim a first away league victory since October?

Recent Leicester City vs Manchester City Head-to-Head Meetings

Man City have won five in a row against Leicester in the Premier League. The last meeting back in April ended in a 3-1 home victory at the Etihad Stadium.

The Foxes beat Man City in the FA Community Shield in 2021, but their last league victory over the Manchester club came in September 2020. Leicester ran riot at the Etihad in that one, with Jamie Vardy scoring a hat-trick in a memorable 5-2 win.

Leicester City vs Manchester City Betting Tips & Predictions

Leicester’s win against West Ham United earlier in the month remains their only victory in any competition since mid-October. The Foxes are in freefall, and we fancy Man City to heap more misery on Van Nistelrooy’s boys on Sunday.

Backing Man City is not easy these days, but they should have enough to see off the struggling Foxes here. We like the look of 2.48 for the away win and both teams to score. Also, both teams to score is priced at 1.61.
