Manchester City, Recent FormIn their last match Manchester City enforced their superiority over Southampton with a 4-1 away win. They achieved 73% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 8 hitting the target, up against Southampton's tally of 4 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
Pep Guardiola will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 16 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have lost 4 goals during those same matches. It's now been 28 games since they failed to score at home. It's clear that with only 2 clean sheets from the last 6 matches at home, Guardiola will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 5 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 6 games.
On an individual basis, Erling Haaland has been a major threat in front of goal all season having scored 30 goals in the league so far.
Leicester City, Recent FormThe Leicester City squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 home defeat against Bournemouth, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. Their share of possession in that meeting was 51%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Bournemouth had 19 shots on goal with 7 on target.
Having scored 4 goals and conceded 10 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 15 games.
A win for Leicester City is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 8 games.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Leicester City, James Maddison will be looking to add more goals against Manchester City in this match.
The 0-1 victory which Manchester City recorded last time these two sides met was no surprise to most.
The Foxes defence has struggled against Man City in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 14 games. We have seen plenty of goals from The Citizens when they play at home against Leicester. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 11 goals, which is an average of 3.67 goals per game. The Citizens have struggled to keep Leicester at bay when these two teams have met at The Etihad Stadium, during the last 3 times they have hosted Leicester in the league, they have conceded a total of 9 goals.
Man City will be looking to continue their winning streak against Leicester having won in their last 4 meetings in the league.
With 4 goals notched up from the last 3 league meetings against Man City at their home ground The Etihad Stadium, Leicester man Jamie Vardy will be looking for more of the same in this one.
There is only really one injury concern for the Man City manager Pep Guardiola ahead of this clash, with Phil Foden (Appendicitis) missing out, which gives Guardiola a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Leicester manager Adam Sadler with Ryan Bertrand (Knee), Jonny Evans (Muscle) and Youri Tielemans (Ankle) all unavailable for selection, and James Justin (Achilles tendon) out for the rest of the season.
