Manchester City vs Leicester City Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Cityzens are on a five-match winning streak over the Foxes.

Manchester City are set to host Leicester City in match week 30 of the Premier League 2024-25 season. Pep Guardiola’s men are the defending English Premier League champions. However, it looks like they will not be able to retain the title this time around. The Foxes are in 19th place after their lacklustre performances.

Manchester City will be at home for their upcoming Premier League contest. They are in fifth place as of now and are looking to get to the Champions League spot for the coming season. A win here against the Foxes will be enough to get them back in the top four. The Cityzens have lacked consistency this season, and they will be looking to turn the tide from this point forward.

Leicester City will be under immense pressure as they have only been able to win four games in their 29 league games. They are in the relegation zone and will have to fight hard if they want to avoid the demotion. The Foxes have not won any of their last five games against Man City, and the hosts will surely be looking to use this as an advantage.

Players to Watch

Erling Haaland (Manchester City)

Erling Haaland is the top goal scorer for the Cityzens this season as well. He is in a heated Golden Boot race alongside Liverpool‘s Mohamed Salah, who is in very good form. Haaland will be looking to step up here, as he has not been in his absolute best this season. The Norwegian striker will be looking to score a goal or two here.

Jamie Vardy (Leicester City)

The veteran forward will be leading the attacking lines for the Foxes once again. Jamie Vardy will be looking to find his form here. Although he is the top goal scorer for Leicester City, Vardy has been able to score only seven goals in the 27 Premier League games this season for the Foxes. He will have to step up here to help his side on the attacking front.
