Second meets fourth in Tuesdayโ€™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 Ranieiriโ€™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 Pellegriniโ€™s men. In fact, Man City registered just three goals in their last half-dozen road fixtures, so thereโ€™s a chance this match-up could be a more attritional affair thanย many will predict.

    2. Hect.OR 98th
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Once he plays games back to back and scores regularly. Until then, there are better options, nothing at all to do with price/value either.

      1. Alittude
        10 years, 10 months ago

        So wait for Watford, Everton games before even thinking about? It's hard when I've saved money for him since he got injured and had no good 5th mid but might just have to keep quiet on thee dream for now

        1. Hect.OR 98th
          10 years, 10 months ago

          I wouldn't bother. Spend the money elsewhere in search of differentials.

        2. Hect.OR 98th
          10 years, 10 months ago

          And Watford are no pushover
