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.

    Fun fact: De Bruyne still under 30% ownership.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Wasn't very fun

    2. edfiasco
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah, I checked this earlier and was most suprised

    3. Ayew Serious
      10 years, 10 months ago

      What's fun about that?

      1. Hans Landa
        10 years, 10 months ago

        I agree that the fact wasn`t fun. To compensate, I will include a real fun fact:
        An average person’s yearly fast food intake will contain 12 pubic hairs.

    4. You Must Be Jokin Ere

    5. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Most people are finding more value elsewhere.

  7. Pirlø's Pen
    10 years, 10 months ago

    dont understand why so many people have risked it with Aguero still...really doesnt look sharp

    1. Ayew Serious
      10 years, 10 months ago

      Cheers, your comment is so helpful

      1. Pirlø's Pen
        10 years, 10 months ago

        too much hype for not enough points

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      10 years, 10 months ago

      us aguero owners understand something different to you.

      Nooooo!! Don't say things like that till it ends.

    4. Clump
      10 years, 10 months ago

      A half sharp Kun beats most players.

      1. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 10 months ago

        He's had one performance to get excited about all season.

    5. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 10 months ago

      He doesnt look sharp and then boom ... 5 goals within 30 minutes
