Leicester City vs Man City

The talking points ahead of Manchester City's Premier League trip to the King Power Stadium to take on Leicester.

On paper, Guardiola has won 11 of his 15 meetings with Leicester (including six wins from eight at the King Power), and City have won four of their last five league visits to the Foxes without conceding. Leicester's brilliant 5-2 win at City early in the 2020/21 season was another reminder of the Foxes' threats, as was their Community Shield win last season. Whoever Guardiola prioritises for Leicester and the following Premier League clash with Fulham, it will be an indication of what he feels is his strongest side going into the final five fixtures before the World Cup. Alvarez this week claimed he was happy playing second-choice to Haaland and is learning plenty in his first months at City. [Haaland](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/erling-haaland) has 17 goals and three assists in his 11 Premier League outings so far, already surpassing last season's top scorer in the league. Haaland has scored or assisted 55 per cent of City's goals this season, so Pep Guardiola's side will have to figure out a new way to score if he isn't fit enough to play on Saturday.
