Manchester City vs Leicester – After their match on Tuesday against Bayern Munich in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal, Manchester City will resume their domestic obligations.
When the Citizens visit relegation-threatened Leicester in Gameweek 31 on Saturday afternoon at the Etihad Stadium, they will be hoping to continue their impressive Premier League performance.
The team of Pep Guardiola easily defeated Southampton last weekend, winning 1-4 at St. Mary’s Stadium.
Following a three-week absence, Erling Haaland was reinstated to the starting lineup. The celebrity from Norway wore a brace to announce his comeback.
As a result of Arsenal’s gaffe in the match against Liverpool last Sunday, Guardiola and his team have now won five straight league games, closing the gap at the top of the standings to six points.
The Citizens control the entire outcome of the domestic championship because they have a game still to play and the match against Arsenal on Matchday No. 33 as well.
With Leicester, a team that is currently in real danger of being demoted to second tier football, the situation is very different.
Seven days prior, the Foxes lost to Bournemouth 0-1 and looked awful. In the 90 minutes of play at their King Power Stadium, they did not produce anything to pose a danger to the Cherries.
The only good news for the Foxes going into this match is that Dean Smith was just named as their new manager on Monday afternoon.
