Premier League Live Scores : Manchester City VS Leicester City: Prediction, Probable lineup, Head-to-head, Key stats

Pep Guardiola's squad is only two points behind the league-leading Gunners and will look to keep winning to apply pressure in the title battle.

Erling Haaland has been brilliant for Man City and will again be the guy to watch for the Blues. They have lost only once in their last five league matches, even though the Norwegian is questionable for the weekend due to injury.

The reigning Premier League winners were held to a disappointing 0-0 draw by Borussia Dortmund in their most recent match and will need to step up their game this weekend.

Leicester City is now 17th in the Premier League standings and has been subpar this season. Last week, Leicester City defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers by a score of 4-0, so they will confidently enter this contest.

Leicester City is unbeaten in its last three Premier League matches and will attempt to make it four in a row.

As for head-to-head stats, Manchester City has emerged victorious in 64 games, while the Foxes could only manage half of those numbers (32) in their favour. In comparison, 29 games have been drawn.

Key stats for the match

• Nine of Leicester City's past 11 Premier League encounters against Manchester City have ended in defeat, including three in a row.
• Since Pep Guardiola took over as manager of Manchester City in 2016/17, no team has scored more Premier League goals against the Citizens than Leicester (17), even though the Foxes have lost nine of their 12 games against City during this time.
• Manchester City has won just two of their previous six Premier League away games (D3 L1), with their most recent loss coming against Liverpool.

Manchester City predicted lineup

Manager Pep Guardiola cannot confirm Erling Haaland's availability for this afternoon's match against Leicester.

Erling Haaland scared City when he left City's midweek match against Borussia Dortmund limping and hobbling after the game.

Manchester City's Julian Alvarez will undoubtedly get an opportunity to shine when he leads the line against Leicester.

Despite a subpar performance against Borussia Dortmund, Riyad Mahrez has performed well against his former club and could receive a look on the right wing. In the final third, Phil Foden should be the third attacker for the visitors.

Probable lineup: Ederson, Foden, Alvarez, Grealish, Cancelo, Dias, Akanji, Laporte; Silva, Rodri, and De Bruyne.

Leicester City predicted the lineup

Brendan Rodgers has no new injury concerns hindering his preparations for Manchester City's visit.

Wilfred Ndidi returned to training this week, although the status of Jonny Evans is questionable. Ryan Bertrand and Ricardo Pereira had been away for a very long time.

Probable lineup: Ward, Maddison, Tielemans, Dewsbury-Hall, Barnes, Vardy, Castagne, Faes, Amartey, Justin, and Soumare.

Manchester City VS Leicester City prediction

Manchester City will undoubtedly be frustrated by Leicester in the opening exchanges. But Pep Guardiola possesses extraordinary talent, which will ultimately make a difference.

And the Cityzens will be able to overwhelm the Foxes throughout the game through their all-round performance.

Final prediction: Cityzens 2-0 Foxes
