Ruud van Nistelrooy faces a tough challenge in turning Leicester from a losing side into a respectable team. After three consecutive defeats and Wolves’ impressive results, Leicester finds themselves back in the danger zone. The team has conceded 40 goals, the most in the league, and in their previous match, despite a solid performance against Liverpool and taking an early 1-0 lead, they conceded three goals by the end and lost.
Manchester City’s agony continues. They failed to beat Everton at home, making their fall down the table even more pronounced. Over their last 13 matches, Man City has managed just one victory. The title now seems miles out of reach, and their spot in the Champions League is also shaky, leaving them with no choice but to win this upcoming match.
Leicester City vs Manchester City Pick: OVER 2.5 GOALS
In addition to Leicester’s defensive struggles, Manchester City has been consistently conceding goals against all opponents, so it wouldn’t be surprising if the home team finds the back of the net. On the other hand, despite their slump, Man City’s attack remains highly talented, fast, and skillful. If given the chance, they could overwhelm Leicester’s defense and score multiple goals. We expect an away victory with three or more total goals in the match.
