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.

  10. Clump
    • 11 Years

      • 16 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

    Kolarov has Mahrez (c)

    1. GAMBIT
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe, but it looks like Mangala also benched Henderson

      1. GAMBIT
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        As a captainer, it matters a lot.

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Ooooh...agreed then.

  18. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

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

  19. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    What an effort KDB

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Nearly smashed the goalie

  20. King Kav. QC at law
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

    Misplaced pass from a Leicester player.

    10 years, 3 months ago

    That was a pretty break

  23. Bellerinmondo
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 3 months ago

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

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Yes.

    2. GAMBIT
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, because some people captained him

    3. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

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

  24. Costa in Wengerland
    • 14 Years
