Manchester City vs Leicester: Match Preview
In their first match following the international break, Manchester City won 2-1 against Bournemouth in the FA Cup to reach the semi-finals. However, the match saw Erling Haaland sustain a serious injury that will keep him sidelined for a significant portion of the season. Despite this, City will be eager to secure a win in this upcoming fixture.
Currently, Manchester City is in fifth place with 48 points after 29 rounds, just one point behind fourth place and with a narrow gap to the sixth position. In their last five league matches, City has won two, lost two, and drawn once.
Leicester, back in the Premier League this season, is one of the top contenders for relegation. With 19 points after 29 rounds, they sit in 19th place, nine points adrift of the 17th position. Time is running out for the Foxes, and they must secure points to avoid relegation. However, their form has been poor, with six consecutive losses in the EPL, and they have the second-worst attack in the league.

Prediction
Leicester is in dire need of points, but Manchester City cannot afford to drop any ground. Although City will face a tougher challenge without Erling Haaland, they should still have the upper hand playing at home. I predict Manchester City to score over 2.5 goals, with odds of 1.74.
