At one point this season, Brendan Rodgers looked like he was on borrowed time at Leicester, but it’s incredible what a few wins can do. Last weekend a 4-0 win away at Wolves (their first consecutive wins of the season) finally moved the Foxes out of the relegation zone. Although Leicester will be expecting better than their current 17th place, the club seems to be moving in the right direction again. Having said that, facing the formidable Manchester City could provide a hard landing back to reality, with Leicester losing nine of the last 11 league meetings with City. They will surely need the likes of England midfielder James Maddison to keep up his rich form to get a result in this game. 

Man City are not top of the Premier League. Despite public discourse already declaring them champions, City are still two points behind Arsenal. Having said that, they have scored 11 more goals than the Gunners (and anyone else in the league) and have conceded only 11 goals (only Newcastle have conceded fewer). The statistics make for impressive reading but in fairness, the goalscoring prowess of Erling Haaland has slightly distorted matters. The Norweigan has an incredible 17 goals in the league already this season and will be keen to add to that against a Leicester defense that has so far been the second leakiest this season. Whether he gets the chance to play is up in the air as he is currently touch and go to be fit for Saturday.

Although City will be heavy favourites, no team has scored more against them since Pep Guardiola joined than Leicester so don’t expect this to be a cakewalk. With this statistic in mind, the Leicester vs Man City live stream should be pretty special.

Here's how they line up:

Leicester City: Ward, Justin, Faes, Söyüncü, Barnes, Tielemans, Vardy, Maddison, Amartey, Dewsbury-Hall, Castagne.

Man City: Ederson, Stones, Cancelo, Gündogan, Grealish, Laporte, Rodri, De Bruyne, Álvarez, Silva, Akanji.
