Leicester City vs Man City Prediction and odds: Preview

Leicester City:

Nothing much has changed for Brendan Rodgers and his skulk in the 2021-22 edition of the Premier League. Jaime Vardy remains the key man in the attack with the likes of Maddison and Barnes playing the second-fiddle. Except for the 4-1 humiliation at the London Stadium against West Ham in GW 2, the Foxes have propelled quite well in the season so far. Leicester won 1-0 against Wolves and 1-2 against Norwich in their remaining PL outings this season.

Now, Leicester’s first game of the season was against Man City in the FA Community Shield finals. The Foxes went on to win the cup courtesy of Kelechi Iheanacho’s late penalty. The recent glory might hand Rodgers a boost before their upcoming matchup against Pep Guardiola. However, it will be very naive for Leicester to even assume that the approaching encounter with Man City will be similar to that they played in the Community Sheild earlier this month.

Leicester faced a half-cooked Man City team in the finals and this time, Pep Guardiola will be ready to unleash his ruthless XI. Brendan Rodgers will be expecting a tough competition in their next league forthcoming contest. Leicester will be happy to split the points and a win in front of the fans will certainly be a dream start to their Premier League 2021-22 campaign.

Man City:

No Harry Kane? no problem for the Citizens. Man City have scored 10 goals in their last 2 Premier League games without conceding once. After a 1-0 defeat to Nuno Espírito Santo’s Tottenham in GW 1, Pep Guardiola bounced back exactly how it was expected from the defending champions. Norwich City and Arsenal were the two victims of Man City’s rampage.

The genius Pep Guardiola converted Ferran Torress into a striker and Gabriel Jesus into a winger. Man City’s newest addition, Jack Grealish contributed with an assist during their 5-0 win against Arsenal. Adding to that, the English champions are doing all this without the assistance of their midfield maestro Kevin De Bruyne.

Pep Guardiola’s trip to the King Power Stadium is tipped to be an interesting one. He will be waiting to settle the score against Brendan Rodgers for Man City’s recent defeat in the Community Shield. Kevin De Bruyne is expected to return to Man City’s squad for the Leicester game.
