The Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Leicester City

In a battle for supremacy at the summit, Manchester City welcome Leicester City to the Etihad. The Foxes are in the midst of a six-match unbeaten streak that started with their goalless draw in the reverse fixture, while the Sky Blues haven’t tasted defeat in seven outings.

Only two teams mustered more big chances (eight) over the last four Gameweeks than Leicester, who racked up seven goals during that period. It’s on the defensive end that Claudio Ranieiri’s troops were the most impressive, though, conceding the second-fewest goals (one), sixth-fewest shots inside the box (25) and fewest big chances (two).

Despite ranking third for attempts (61) and joint-fourth for goals (seven) since Gameweek 21, the Sky Blues recorded just 14 shots on target, engendering the worst shot accuracy (23%) of any team. On the flip side, Manuel Pellegrini’s men conceded just two goals and registered three clean sheets. Moreover, only two teams allowed fewer shots inside the box (24), while they placed joint-second-bottom with regards to big chances conceded (three).

        This game is so cruel.

        Each week I make the wrong decisions! Lol!

    Rainy matches are always cagey. Our community should analyse weather conditions also before choosing a captain.

      😀

    2. Sif

      Altitude of the grounds too. Thicker air...

      1. Harvey Spector
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Movement of players is restricted too. Somehow they are scared to fall.

  19. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    I thought if the ball was going on target it should stand as the shooters goal even if the direction changes. Goal should stand

  20. Alittude

    leicester are the better team, work better as a unit

  21. Hybrid.power

    This year is so hard to predict. Leicester away at City, of course I would bench Huth!!

    1. Stephen - Robot Daniels
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Was the right choice.

  22. Zombie
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    They really don't need possession or completed passes..such speed, so much space!

  23. Chucky

    Praying for Alli no show so I can get Mahrez off the bench 🙁

    1. Norb
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yes please

    2. Burger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      But Alli might get a hattie, but stupid comment, no?

  24. Cilly Bonnolly

    Non-Mahrez owner and non-Aguero captainer. Sh*tting myself right now.

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years

      You are not alone

    2. Alittude

      Mahrez bencher and Aguero captainer. Sh*tting myself right now too.

    Klopp suspected appendicitus. Won't be on the touchline

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Another injury

    2. Sif
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Statement say to keep continuity they will have Bez from the Happy Mondays on the touchline

  26. Jazz!

    The last 3 chances Mahrez has created, have been assists.

    Mahrez captain away to Arsenal will be a thing

    1. Mull
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      An idiotic thing.

    I'm in a mini league with two of my cousins (both under 7 years old), they've been bossing me all season, and today they both captained Mahrez..

      Xgxahxah they are smart

  30. GuillermoDickero

    Getting rid of mahrez a few weeks back to bring Lukaku in was a big mistake
