Match preview: Manchester City vs Leicester

Manchester City and Leicester are set to clash at the Etihad Stadium in the 30th round of the Premier League. In their last encounter in this competition on 29 December 2024, Manchester City emerged victorious with a score of 0-2. Historical data suggests a favourable record for the home team, which has achieved 2 wins and 1 loss in their last 3 meetings. The most recent match at this stadium occurred on 15 April 2023, when Manchester City won 3-1, with goals from Erling Haaland (13′ and 25′) and John Stones (5′), while Kelechi Iheanacho scored for Leicester (75′). The home advantage could be crucial in this fixture, given the stark differences between the team’s performances at home and away.

Team analysis: Manchester City

Currently in 5th place, the home team has accumulated 48 points from 14 wins, 6 draws, and 9 losses. In their penultimate match, they suffered a defeat away to Nottingham Forest (1-0). Most recently, they drew at home against Brighton & Hove Albion (2-2). Manchester City has a stronger record at home, with 8 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses at the Etihad, compared to 5 wins, 2 draws, and 8 losses away from home in their last 30 games. Their previous match in the FA Cup ended with a 2-1 victory over AFC Bournemouth. In the last 10 home matches in the league, they have gained 17 points out of a possible 30. While defensively they have struggled, conceding goals in 7 of their last 10 games, their attack remains prolific, scoring in 8 of those matches. Notably, 11 out of 14 home league games have featured over 2.5 goals. Out of their 29 league matches, they conceded the first goal 13 times but have been able to turn around 5 of those situations.

Manchester City heads into this fixture following a 2-1 victory. In their match against Bournemouth in the FA Cup, goals were scored by Erling Haaland and Omar Mariatly. In their latest Premier League match, they drew 2-2 at home against Brighton. The team typically employs a 4-3-3 formation, featuring Jérémy Doku, Phil Foden, and Erling Haaland as the key offensive players. Kevin de Bruyne orchestrates the midfield, managing the team’s attacking plays. However, they will be without Manuel Akanji, John Stones, Nathan Aké, and Rodrigo due to injury concerns.

Team analysis: Leicester

Leicester is currently positioned 19th with only 17 points from 4 wins, 5 draws, and 20 losses. Their penultimate match resulted in a 1-0 defeat to Chelsea, followed by a 0-3 loss at home to Manchester United. This team does not experience significant home advantage, displaying similar results at both home and away. In their last 30 games, Leicester has recorded 2 wins, 2 draws, and 11 losses as visitors, netting 14 goals while conceding 38. In home matches, they secured 3 wins, 2 draws, and suffered 10 losses, scoring 16 goals while conceding 31. In the league, they have managed only 4 points from the last 30 available, featuring 1 victory, 1 draw, and 8 losses in their away fixtures. Defensive stability has been lacking, having conceded at least one goal in each of their last 10 matches, and their scoring ability is equally poor, failing to find the net in 8 of their last 10 league games. Leicester’s away form often results in high-scoring matches, as 11 of their last 14 league outings have ended with over 2.5 goals. They rarely score first, having opened the scoring in just 5 of their last 29 league matches, winning only twice after leading at half-time. In 29 league matches, they failed to overturn the score in 24 instances when conceding the first goal.

Leicester enters this match after a 3-0 defeat at home against Manchester City, marking their sixth consecutive loss in the Premier League. They typically utilise a 3-4-3 formation, with Bilal El Khannouss, Jamie Vardy, and Patson Daka leading their offensive line. When attacking, they often exploit the right flank, benefiting from James Justin’s depth. They will miss Wilfred Ndidi due to suspension.
