The games are coming thick and fast in the Premier League at the moment and after goals galore last weekend, hopes are high that the excitement continues.
Manchester City vs Leicester should provide plenty of entertainment with both teams starting the season on the winning trail. Leicester are two wins out of two in the Premier League following easy wins over West Brom and Burnley and City started their campaign on the right note with a 3-1 victory over Wolves.
The quest for City is simple; regain that Premier League title they lost so convincingly to Liverpool last term. With the way they started in such a tricky fixture, you would expect them to really challenge Liverpool hard.
Leicester were superb last term but ran out of steam at the final hurdle to be knocked out of the coveted top four positions. However, it was still a very good season for the Foxes and they have already shown how dangerous in attack they are.
This really does promise to be a riveting game so you don’t want to miss this game on Sunday afternoon (kick off 4.30pm).
Manchester City vs Leicester City Predictions
Last weekend was an absolute goalfest in the Premier League and we are hoping that this match follows on a similar path.
With the likes of Raheem Sterling, Kevin de Bruyne, Gabriel Jesus and Jamie Vardy on show, you would think that both goalkeepers will be in for a busy afternoon.
City are always a force to be reckoned with at the Etihad. They can absolutely punish teams here, whether their opponents decide to park the bus or go toe-to-toe with City and go for it.
You would expect Brendan Rodgers’ side to have a go and not sit back. With Vardy’s pace, they are a very good counter-attacking team who will pose a threat.
However, City swept aside a team of similar ilk to Leicester in Wolves on Monday night and with that title defeat last season, expect the Sky Blues to come roaring back.
We think 3-1 to City could be the way to go and we are sure it will be absorbing viewing.
