Leicester City vs Manchester City Predictions

  • Leicester have the second-worst defensive record in the top flight.
  • Phil Foden has scored four goals in his last three Premier League starts.

Foxes find their feet

After a dreadful start to the season Leicester look to have found their feet over the last few weeks and head into Saturday’s clash in high spirits, although expectations will have to be tempered as they welcome the reigning Premier League champions.

The Foxes, who failed to win any of their opening seven Premier League games and conceded 22 goals in the process, have won three of their last five matches and kept four clean sheets to boot, although the quality of their opposition leaves a lot to be desired.

All five of these recent matches have come against sides in the bottom half of the Premier League table, while their three wins came against the only three sides below them in the table, including the two lowest-scoring sides.

City set sights on Premier League summit

Manchester City are streets ahead of the Foxes’ recent opponents, two points off the top of the table and possessing the best attacking record, joint-second best defensive record and the best xG and xGA figures.

They failed to get the win in Dortmund on Tuesday have have won eight of their 11 Premier League games, including five of their six meetings with bottom-half clubs.

Pep Guardiola’s side have faced three of the bottom five teams and won by an aggregate scoreline of 13-0, and Leicester are next on the agenda.

Travelling fans expect comfortable win

With all eight of their league wins coming by more than a single goal margin, backing the visitors on the handicap looks an excellent choice, along with a fifth win to nil of the season in the form of a 3-0 correct score prediction.

Erling Haaland and Phil Foden are minor doubts for this clash but are expected to be fit to play and, while Haaland is a goalscoring phenomenon, Foden is more attractive in the betting markets. The 22-year-old has scored six league goals so far this season and has found the net four times in his last three league starts.
