#4 Leicester City vs Manchester City: Champions look to arrest appalling slide
Trending
The Foxes were humiliated in Europe this week after Porto thrashed them 5-0 on the night. After the game, the genial Italian, Claudio Ranieri shouldered the blame for his team’s poor performance stating, “I decided to change the team - the result is my fault. I have no regrets because I wanted to give an opportunity to all my players.”
The Foxes are now without a win in their last 5 fixtures and last weekend’s defeat against Sunderland leaves them only 2 points above the relegation zone. While their European campaign has been superb, it is the league form which should worry Leicester City fans.
And to make matters more challenging, they welcome Manchester City, who themselves are looking to strike back after an ill-tempered 3-1 defeat to Chelsea last weekend. Ranieri, who rested key players against Porto will hope that his teams A lister’s such as Vardy and Mahrez are up to the task if they are to avoid further acrimony.
Match Prediction: Leicester City 1 v 2 Manchester City
