The Premier League returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Leicester City lock horns with Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side in an important clash at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
Manchester City vs Leicester City Preview
Leicester City are currently in 19th place in the Premier League standings and have struggled so far this season. The Foxes slumped to a damaging 1-0 defeat at the hands of Bournemouth in their previous game and cannot afford another debacle this weekend.
Manchester City, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive this season. The home side outclassed Bayern Munich with a 3-0 victory in the UEFA Champions League this week and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.
