Leicester vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Steve Ashfield in Premier League Predictions
Even an away win for Manchester City won't take them into the Champions League places. City are seventh in the Premier League and travel to Leicester who are 18th in the table and in the relegation zone. The Citizens find themselves 14 points behind league leaders Liverpool and already their dreams of winning a fifth successive Premier League title look over. Boxing Day saw them held to a home draw by Everton after losing a lead.
Leicester City showed some initial improvement under new coach Ruud van Nistelrooy but they've taken a few steps back in recent matches. The Foxes also led on Boxing Day but ended up losing 3-1 at Liverpool. They have slipped back into the relegation zone and with a trip to midlands rivals Aston Villa up next for them, it could be a while until they escape the bottom three, unless they get a surprise win here.

Leicester & Manchester City Squad Analysis
Manchester City have enough problems already but there's been a sickness bug going through the squad. That caused Kyle Walker to miss the match against Everton on Boxing Day. It's yet to be known if he will be well enough to play at Leicester.
They already have a long injury list with John Stones, Ederson, Matheus Nunes and Jack Grealish all having knocks of some sort at present. Nathan Ake had to come off early against Everton claiming fatigue but may feature on Sunday in some way or another.
Ayew is suspended for this match.
Leicester will be without Jordan Ayew for this match. He opened the scoring at Anfield but was booked in the second half and will be suspended for this home game against Manchester City. Jamie Vardy could replace him if fit after not being risked at Anfield.
Also out for City are mads Hermansen, Wilfred Ndidi, Abdul Fatawu and Ricardo Pereira.

Our Leicester vs Manchester City Prediction
Both clubs really need a win here to boost their confidence. You might expect us to write that about Leicester City who face a battle to avoid an immediate return to the Championship, It's surprising for Manchester City to be in this position though as they are only seventh in the Premier League.
Pep Guardiola will see this match as one his team should be winning but City aren't trustworthy enough for our main prediction. Therefore our top Leicester City v Manchester City prediction is both teams to score.
