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).

    Going to be some very high scoring benches this week!

    1. FPL Daniel
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Yes there will be

    2. Numb
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Lot of big autosubs with Alli

    3. Les Bleus
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Let's hope Alli comes on though.

      1. Numb
        10 years, 9 months ago

        I doubt he will tbh

  5. FPL Daniel
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Can we lol Doos...?

    1. Sailboats
      10 years, 9 months ago

      What did he do

    2. TeamSteam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Seasons far from over, by no means have Leicester won the league yet

    3. Zasa
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Did Leicester win the league already?

  6. Jazz!
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Walker and Alli on the bench šŸ™

    1. tm245
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Same here. They are still in Europe so I wonder if things are going to be this rocky from now on.

  7. DVassell
    10 years, 9 months ago

    I was berating a guy in my mini league for playing Huth and benching Arnie

    Now he's berrating me

  8. Mr. Grv
    10 years, 9 months ago

    This would make a decent movie from beating united 5-3 to beating everyone in the league and some nice controversial orgies .

  9. Chucky
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Aguero looking lively?

    1. Numb
      10 years, 9 months ago

      No

  10. Hakuna Juan Mata
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Only way Aguero gets a goal out of this game is if Leicester concede a pen

  11. Count of Monte Hristo
    10 years, 9 months ago

    I want a Huth hat-trick!

    1. Hamstergod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 months ago

      this

  12. Aarono23
    10 years, 9 months ago

    34 points on the bench already assuming 5 BPS between Huth and Mahrez. Currently looking like some bad team selection decisions. Hope Tottenham are easily winning in their game so that Alli will stay on the bench and i can at least get Mahrez's points

  13. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Crikey its on now and no mistake!!

    Treble Leic is the way to go now!

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Treble Leicester from GW27 for sure

  14. KingOllie
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Yes alli benched!!

    Please dont come on

    1. BadgersBoys
      10 years, 9 months ago

      He will.

  15. FPL Daniel
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Lol @ Sterling

  16. S.Kuqi
    10 years, 9 months ago

    I should probably buy Mahrez back šŸ˜€

  17. camarozz
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Please God I beg of you leave marallis on the bench. Pleeeesssssesssssssss
    I will attend mass tomorrow.

  18. Numb
    10 years, 9 months ago

    High fives all round Kane captainers

    1. shirtless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Sweet. The right choice hopefully!

    2. Danstoke82
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Say this to me at 4.45 lol.

  19. Kevtheotter
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Rose on the bench...That means Huth is coming on...Please Potts,

    1. Royal5
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Same. Really hope Rose stays on the bench.

  20. Hakuna Juan Mata
    10 years, 9 months ago

    desperately need a Kane blank now

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      10 years, 9 months ago

      he'll score 4

  21. Paganoi
    10 years, 9 months ago

    I need someone like Delph to score to make me feel better about benching Fuchs.

  22. Wouter
    10 years, 9 months ago

    I really hope Leicester get a penalty and Huth takes it.

  23. DAZZ
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Will borthwick jackson play? Huth first on bench!!!

    1. Paganoi
      10 years, 9 months ago

      More than likely.

    2. Numb
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Yes, he will

  24. Joga Bonito®
    10 years, 9 months ago

    I repeat. Mahrez 1st sub. Huth second sub.

    Seem to miss all Mahrez points then when I put Mahrez in I miss all Alli points. This season sucks.

  25. BrockLanders
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Of course my ML leader has started Huth. Of course he does.. šŸ™

  26. FPL Daniel
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Arsenal is coming next and won't be walk in the park like this for sure

    1. mazzington☘
      10 years, 9 months ago

      Speaking as an Arsenal fan, I'll be fielding 3 Leicester players next week, just as I am today. Teams with soft centres like Man City and Arsenal represent great fixtures for a team like Leicester, particularly away from home. Vardy scored twice against Arsenal the last time they played!

  27. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Kane is going to kill me. I have him but everyone else captained him.

  28. Ha.
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Vardy you moron

  29. Norb
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Vardy close

  30. Acquafresca
    10 years, 9 months ago

    Feck off Vardy
