Leicester and Manchester City meet on Saturday, October 29 at 2.30pm at the King Power Stadium in the Premier League Round of 14, live on Digi Sport 1 and Prima Sport 1.
“Leicester” and “Manchester City” open the 14th stage of the Premier League with a match that should not bring too many emotions to the “citizens”, considering the ranking places occupied by both teams.
Leicester narrowly missed out on 20th place last, after a run of two wins and a draw in their last three games that ended with a 4-0 success by the Foxes at Wolverhampton, a revival is on the cards after six successive defeats in championship
Despite this, Leicester are in a very poor position (17th), just two points above the relegation zone, although Brendan Rodgers’ side (on the brink of relegation) had high hopes at the start of the season.
Leicester have conceded 24 goals in 12 games (an average of two per game) but have the sixth-best attack in the Premier League with 21 goals, and the team’s top goalscorer is the freak James Maddison with six effective shots.
Manchester City (2nd place with 26 points from 11 games, two points behind leaders Arsenal) are coming off a run of four wins and one loss (0-1 at Liverpool) in their last five games Championship, as well as in the previous stages, they beat Brighton 3-1 at home.
Meanwhile, Pep Guardiola’s side reached the last 16 of the Champions League, although they were held to 0-0 draws by both FC Copenhagen and Borussia Dortmund in their last group matches, both away games and each time with a penalty missed by Riyad Mahrez.
Erling Haaland is the team’s and the league’s top scorer, scoring 17 times in 11 matches, the last two goals coming in the last match against Brighton.
However, in the last Champions League match, the Norwegian forward only played in the first half and Pep Guardiola explained why: “I felt he was tired, but the doctor also told me before the match that he also had a fever. Then it is also about the blow he received in the leg. That’s why we couldn’t use it in the second half.”
Manchester City won both legs against Leicester last season, 1-0 in the first leg at home and 6-3 in the second leg away from home.
