The English Premier League has just got more exciting. The Man City VS Leicester game is going to be a roller-coaster ride. What sets the game in the Premier League apart is the pace at which the games are played. The games are fast-paced and do not bore the audience; hence the league is a crowd favorite. In this contest, Man City VS Leicester City, Man City will start as the favorites. It is a club that is in a better position in all aspects. They will start as favorites. But we must never hold Leicester City out of the equation. Here is a quick preview of the Man City VS Leicester City game:
Manchester City Preview:
This team is on a roll. They are scoring goals wildly. They have just beaten Bayern Munich, one of the strongest football teams in Europe, by 3-0. The performances of Haaland and De Bruyne in the game were commendable. In the last 5 games, they have scored 24 goals. That goes to say that their goal-scoring form is too good.
The attack of Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish also becomes too much for the defenders at times. It is the pace combined with a skill that makes it very difficult. Riyad Mahrez is expected to start ahead of Bernado Silva. Kyle Walker will also be rooting to start a match. He is coming back from injury.
Leicester City Preview:
Leicester is looking like a sinking ship this season. They have lost 4 out of their last 5 games. They have also conceded a lot of goals in the process. The Blues will not have very high confidence, but we all know the fact that Leicester City can do miracles. The game is at the Etihad Stadium so they will face the heat from the home fans.
Iheanacho has wanted a game for a very long time. He must compete with Jamie Vardy for the striker’s position. This is because Leicester has chosen to play with the unconventional 4-2-3-1 combination. So, they can have just 1 striker. Youri Tielemans with an ankle injury, James Justin and Ryan Bertrand will all remain sidelined for some more time.

The other two will be scored by Grealish and Silva. From Leicester City, Ndidi will have a great game.
