Leicester can count themselves somewhat lucky to have snatched six points so far. Barely overcoming a scare against Norwich, the Foxes have also been on the receiving end of a 4-1 drubbing from West Ham. It wasn’t so long ago that Leicester pipped City’s mega squad in the Community Shield, however, and a win over the Citizens would undoubtedly re-align Leicester’s path. Without Gabriel Jesus, Ederson or back-up GK Zack Steffen for COVID-related debacles, Scott Carson is set to be the hero of the hour. With just the one game for City in the past three years, could we see a new beast in the PL?
Prediction: 2-1
Ryan
Why is this game on at 3 and not on telly? Champions League schedules have had an impact here. Nonetheless, this game always brings the entertainment. Leicester struggled to a win against a stubborn Norwich whilst City spent 90+ minutes making Arsenal squeal like a scarlet pimpernel (Tenacious D fans rejoice). Despite back to back 5-0 wins, I still feel like a lack of striker for City will cost them at some point. Nonetheless, this will be tough but based on form, I see City winning a close affair.
Prediction: 1-2
Steviano
No Kane and no Ronaldo to add to City’s lone striker Jesus who is playing on the right wing anyway, rather than meet the steep Levy charges they are sticking with Torres and a revolving false 9 option which has seen them score 10 goals in two games albeit against the bottom 2! Leicester have defensive injury worries which apart from making them more vulnerable also robs them of their base to attack – despite that they are level on points with Man City after winning 2 out of 3 at the start. I think City will have too much all round for Leicester but I expect it to be close.
Prediction: 1-2
