Second meets fourth in Tuesday’s solitary fixture, as Leicester City play host a to a resurgent Manchester City outfit. The Foxes were held to a blank for the first time this season last Gameweek, while the Sky Blues maintained their home dominance with a 4-1 win over Sunderland.

Notwithstanding their 1-0 defeat to Liverpool, Leicester ranked joint-top for goals (eight) over the previous four Gameweeks. They did, however, chart fifth-bottom for attempts (42) and joint-third-bottom for shots inside the box (27), revealing a drop-off in their shot frequency. On the defensive front, Claudio Ranieiri’s unit were perhaps fortunate to only concede four goals, given that they allowed the third-most shots inside the box (39) and fourth-most big chances (nine).

Man City were wildly unpredictable over the past six Gameweeks, recording three wins and as many defeats. The Sky Blues have amassed 10 more home goals (29) than any side this term, yet only four teams have netted fewer times on their travels (eight) than Manuel Pellegrini’s men. In fact, Man City registered just three goals in their last half-dozen road fixtures, so there’s a chance this match-up could be a more attritional affair than many will predict.

    1. GAMBIT
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Maybe, but it looks like Mangala also benched Henderson

        10 years, 10 months ago

        *Vardy

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 10 months ago

        As a captainer, it matters a lot.

        1. Dr Dream
          10 years, 10 months ago

          Ooooh...agreed then.

      2. TorresMagic™

        Matters for captains and Leicester fans

  17. KingOllie

    Mahrez so silky

  18. The Mandalorian
    10 years, 10 months ago

    LEI fans are wondering why the home team is playing in yellow.

  19. Gunner77-
    10 years, 10 months ago

    What an effort KDB

    1. Gunner77-
      10 years, 10 months ago

  20. King Kav. QC at law
    10 years, 10 months ago

  21. MBK 42

    Sterling so close

  22. Yank Revolution
    10 years, 10 months ago

    That was a pretty break

  23. Bellerinmondo
    10 years, 10 months ago

    so if Mahrez scores and like 99.99 percent of people own him, do I care?

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Yes.

    2. GAMBIT
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Yes, because some people captained him

    3. Yank Revolution
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Truth-- Mahrez pts won't affect rankings too much.

  24. Costa in Wengerland
    10 years, 10 months ago

    Good save

    10 years, 10 months ago
