Recent Form
Leicester were nearly dumped out of the League Cup by an improved Everton side on Wednesday, having been taken to penalties despite leading 2-0 inside 30 minutes.
Nonetheless, the Foxes have lost just two of 21 matches this season now, in away trips to Man Utd and Liverpool, winning nine of their last 11 unbeaten fixtures.
Pep Guardiola’s side currently trail Leicester by four points and if they’re to have any hope whatsoever of reeling league leaders Liverpool in, then they’ll need to take maximum points here.
They easily dismissed Arsenal at the Emirates last weekend, with Kevin De Bruyne simply sensational, though of course the Gunners have been a team in dire straits in recent times.
Going back to early November, the Citizens are just W5-D3-L2 across all competitions as the only truly top side they’ve beaten was Chelsea.
Leicester +1.5 Asian Handicap
However, only three of the 10 games in Man City’s recent spell came at the Etihad, which was the scene of that triumph over Frank Lampard’s team.
On home turf alone, they’ve won 24 of 28 matches across all competitions in 2019, though it’s noticeable that each of the four exceptions came during the current campaign.
Having drawn with Shakhtar Donetsk and lost the Manchester derby in their past two home games, we’d certainly want to get behind Leicester at the prices.
Both of the Foxes’ two defeats this term have come by narrow one-goal margins, and they were even unfortunate when they visited Anfield as Sadio Mane earnt a soft penalty in the 95th minute of stoppage time.
In fact, each of their three defeats last term under Brendan Rodgers came by the same margin, while in three head-to-head meetings last season, they both won, drew and lost a game as none of the encounters were settled by more than a single strike.
Jamie Vardy To Score Anytime
One man who should help Leicester get something out of this game is of course star striker Jamie Vardy.
He may have failed to score in their last two outings at home to Norwich in the league and away at Everton in cup action, but he’s hardly gone off the boil and it’s only a matter of time before the goals return.
Prior to that clash with the Canaries, Vardy had found the net at least once in each of his previous eight games as he scored 11 during that run in total.
