Manchester City's difficult season may well have a happy ending. They are fifth in the Premier League and on Wednesday, they play host to Leicester City who are 19th in the table. Can the Foxes get a shock away win? Read our match prediction.

City are only a point behind the top four but fifth place might just be enough to see them back in the Champions League again next season. The weekend saw them win at Bournemouth to reach the FA Cup semi-finals. Now they return to Premier League action and look to end a run of two top-flight games without a win. This home match against Leicester looks an ideal opportunity to earn three points.

Leicester City are nine points from safety but with a -40 goal difference, that's all but ten. The Foxes are in terrible form and look doomed to be relegated at the end of the season. With 65 league goals conceded this season, it could be a long night in Manchester for them on Wednesday.

Manchester City - Leicester: Form Analysis

Manchester City's reign as Premier League champions is coming to an end. They are 22 points behind leaders Liverpool and their main aim now is to ensure they qualify for next season's Champions League.

The fifth place they currently hold could well be good enough to achieve that but a top-four finish would definitely see them qualify. It's tight though and only four points separate them from Bournemouth who are tenth.

Sunday saw them win 2-1 at Bournemouth to reach the FA Cup semi-finals. The Citizens have gone two home league games without a win but had won three in a row before a loss to Liverpool and draw with Brighton.

City are on their way back to the Championship.

It is likely only a matter of when Leicester will be relegated. They have only won four league games since their return to the top flight. Their last seven league and cup games have all been lost and 14 of the last 16.

On the road, City have lost ten of their 14 league fixtures with 35 goals conceded. They don't just let in far too many goals, they have failed to score in their last six league fixtures. Their last three away league games have been lost by an aggregate score of 7-0.

Manchester City & Leicester Squad Analysis

Erling Haaland is a major doubt for this home game against Leicester. He injured his knee in Sunday's FA Cup win at Bournemouth and was seen leaving the ground with a protective boot on and needing crutches.

Marmoush is expected to replace Haaland.

Omar Marmoush is therefore likely to start this match and he has been in good scoring form for City since his arrival. The Egyptian scored in the win at Bournemouth. 

Nico O'Reilly put in a good performance at the weekend and could start a Premier League game for City for the first time. He could well replace Matheus Nunes.

Leicester will still be without Abdul Fatawu who won't be playing for them again this season. Ricardo Pereira is expected to be fit to play as full-back in this game. Even without Haaland, Manchester City will be making life difficult for their opponents who have such a leaky defence.

Harry Souttar still has a problem with his ankle injury and Odsonne Edourard does not appear to be in Van Nistelrooy's plans. That's surprising considering Leicester's inability to score goals in recent matches.

Our Manchester City vs Leicester Prediction

Leicester are getting close to the point of no return. They are nine points from safety, concede far too many goals and haven't scored a league goal themselves since January 26. Relegation is on its way for the Foxes.

Manchester City have had a disappointing season but could yet win honors this season. This is a golden opportunity to earn three points and to boost their goal difference. Our main Manchester City v Leicester prediction is Manchester City to win and lead at both half and full time.
