Leicester City vs Manchester City- Premier League: TV channel, prediction, team news and lineups

Manchester City have won 11 of their last 13 Premier League meetings with Leicester, including each of the last five, seeking a fifth successive victory on Filbert Way for the first time since 1954.

Leicester City vs Manchester City Preview

Will Manchester City's miserable form continue? On Boxing Day, despite taking an early lead through Bernardo Silva, the Citizens were held to a 1-1 draw by Everton at the Etihad, with Erling Braut Håland seeing a second half spot-kick saved. So, astonishingly, Pep Guardiola's team are now winless in five, victorious in just one of their 13 outings across all competitions since 26 October. In the Premier League specifically, the Sky Blues have collected just five points from the last 27 available, losing six of these nine fixtures, hence why Man City are down in seventh, a humungous 14 points adrift run-away league-leaders Liverpool. Away from home, the four-in-a-row champions are without a win in eight, losing seven of them, so can they end this truly flabbergasting streak in the East Midlands?

Given all of that, Leicester City will surely fancy their chances of a famous win, even if their own recent form is concerning. On Thursday night, despite taking a shock early lead through Jordan Ayew, the Foxes were ultimately easily beaten 3-1 by Liverpool at Anfield. So, after collecting four points from his first two matches in charge, Ruud van Nistelrooy's side have since suffered three successive defeats, conceding ten times across these defeats. As a result, Leicester have slipped back into the relegation zone, winning only one of their last ten, but can the Foxes pick up three precious points, propelling them out of the bottom three, and further adding to Man City's misery?

Leicester City Team News

With first-choice goalkeeper Mads Hermansen sidelined due to a groin injury, and following Danny Ward's less than impressive display against Wolves, Jakub Stolarczyk was handed his Premier League debut at Anfield, impressing in defeat, hence why he'll be donning the gloves again. Meantime, Jamie Vardy was not fit enough to face Liverpool, but Ruud van Nistelrooy expects his captain to be able to start this time. Ricardo Pereira and Abdul Fatawu are sidelined long-term, Wilfred Ndidi is also injured and Wout Faes is a doubt, hence why Jannik Vestergaard is likely to continue as Conor Coady's partner at the back. Vestergaard, Oliver Skipp, Jordan Ayew and Vardy are all a booking away from missing next weekend's trip to Villa Park; the yellow card threshold raises to ten after this match.

Leicester City predicted lineup vs Manchester City: (4-5-1): Stolarczyk; Justin, Vestergaard, Coady, Kristiansen; Soumaré, Winks, El Khannouss, Mavididi, J Ayew; Vardy.

Leicester City Player to Watch vs Manchester City

Jamie Vardy has previously scored nine times against Man City, only on target against Arsenal, Watford and Liverpool more frequently, so can the veteran striker add to his six goals so far this season?

Defenders Kyle Walker, Rúben Dias and John Stones are all sidelined, while Nathan Aké was taken off towards the end of Thursday's draw, so Pep Guardiola will be desperately hoping that the Dutchman is fit to go again, otherwise 19-year-old Jahmai Simpson-Pusey will be handed his fourth start of the campaign. In goal, with Ederson out, Stefan Ortega Moreno will keep his place, while midfielders Rodri, Matheus Nunes, Jack Grealish and Oscar Bobb are all not available. Both İlkay Gündoğan and Kevin De Bruyne came off the bench on Boxing Day, so will either return to start this time? Bernardo Silva will sit out next weekend's clash with West Ham if cautioned.

Manchester City predicted lineup vs Leicester City: (4-2-3-1): Ortega; Lewis, Akanji, Aké, Gvardiol; Gündoğan, Kovačić, Silva, De Bruyne, Foden; Håland.

Kevin De Bruyne has only four goals to his name this season, but the Belgian has previously netted four times against Leicester, three of which have come during victories at the King Power.

Leicester City vs Manchester City Prediction

Surely Man City will win this time, right? Leicester has allowed 305 shots on their goal across their last 16 matches, an average of over 19 per game, conceding three goals or more in seven of their last 13 Premier League outings, including each of the lat three. So, the Foxes seem unlikely to win this one although, given Man City's current predicament, it's genuinely hard to know what it'll take: Leicester City 1-2 Manchester City.
