MANCHESTER CITY
Guardiola’s Manchester City is fighting the battle on two fronts: the Champions League and Premier League, and they are very much in contention for both competitions. After the 3-0 trashing of Bayern Munich in the first leg of the UCL at home, the Citizens will shift focus to mounting pressure on Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table which is currently leading with 6 points gab.
Manchester City was victorious in 5 of their previous 5 league matches (5 wins, 0 draws, 0 defeats). In the current Premier League season 2022/2023, Manchester City were able to win 12 of their 14 games at home, with a total of 1 draw, and 1 defeat (Goal difference 47:14).
Man City is unbeaten in their last 15 matches in all competitions. This team is looking unstoppable right now and it will be exciting to see how they fare in both contests. With Guardiola at the helm, everything is achievable for this talented group of players.
LEICESTER CITY
Last season’s top-four prospect, Leicester City, is currently this season’s relegation prospect! How fast things have gone from good to worse. Leicester City’s season has been a tough and patchy one, with the team running out of options to save themselves from relegation. They currently sit 19th in the EPL standings with only 25 points in 30 matches and conceded the second-highest 52 goals.
Leicester City has won 0 of their last 5 Premier League encounters (0 wins, 1 draw, 4 defeats. The away record in this year’s Premier League season for Leicester City reveals the following stats: 4 wins, 1 draw, and 10 defeats – Goal difference 23:32.
The visitors have lost 9 of their last 10 consecutive matches – which is one of the worst performances this season. If their new coach is going to be a living Jesus to them, then he must start getting points now – which is unlikely against the might of Manchester City.
