Manchester City (in all competitions): D-L-L-L-D

Players to watch out for:

Facundo Buonanotte (Leicester City):

Facundo Buonanotte is the player to watch out for Leicester City in this game. He has scored four goals and provided two assists in the 17 games he has played so far this season across competitions. Predominantly a right winger, he excels in central roles too, showcasing excellent ball control and passing range. His style blends youthful exuberance with technical finesse, making him a dynamic and versatile playmaker.

Erling Haaland (Manchester City)

Erling Haaland is the player to watch out for Man City in this game. The Norwegian striker has scored 18 goals and provided one assist in 25 matches across all competitions this season. In the last season, he scored 38 goals and provided five assists in the 45 games played across all competitions.

Haaland’s ability to score goals at an astonishing rate is perhaps his most defining trait. His exceptional finishing, both with his feet and head, combined with an almost predatory instinct inside the box, makes him one of the deadliest strikers in modern football.
