Manchester City vs Leicester Predictions

Manchester City 14 points off the pace and trail Leicester by four points. It’s been a shaky period for Man City and they will need a miracle to lift the Premier League. They need Liverpool to drop a lot of points over their tough schedule and City must be faultless.

Leicester are 10 points behind Liverpool after dropping point against Norwich. The draw dents their title aspirations but The Foxes have still massively outperformed expectation. They’ll need all three points against City if they want to remain in the conversation.

Jamie Vardy to Score – 7/4

His scoring streak may have come to an end last weekend, but Jamie Vardy is still a man in form. He leads the Premier League scoring charts by a healthy margin and was heavily involved in front of goal despite being thwarted by Tim Krul. Manchester City have had their defensive issues and Vardy will likely give Fernandinho and Nicolas Otamendi a tough time.

 

Leicester to Win – 7/1

It’s a big ask for Leicester but they have shown they’re capable of competing with the best. They were unfortunate to lose to Liverpool earlier in the season and Manchester City have not been able to deal with pace in behind. At this moment in time, Leicester look like the more balanced side. They’re worth backing with such long odds.

The Foxes have the best defensive record in the league, the best goal difference, they’re undefeated in nine league games and they have the Premier League top goalscorer in their ranks. For all Manchester City’s quality, they remain defensively vulnerable, especially against such a clinical Leicester side.
