Leicester City – Latest Team News & Statistics
Leicester City have found their way up after a dramatic start in the Premier League. The last two games were convincingly won over Leeds United (2-0) and Wolverhampton Wanderers (0-4). Coach Brendan Rodgers’ team has also picked up 10 points from the last five league games.
The first seven games yielded only one point. Leicester is now three games unbeaten and last lost to AFC Bournemouth on 8 October: 2-1. With 11 points from 12 games, Leicester can be found just above the relegation line in 17th place.
Manchester City – Latest Team News & Statistics
Manchester City are second in the Premier League after 11 games played. They are only two points behind leaders Arsenal. Moreover, Josep Guardiola’s team’s goal difference is much better. Last weekend, City recovered from this season’s first defeat against Liverpool (1-0) by winning the home game against Brighton & Hove Albion 3-1. Furthermore, City dropped points by failing to win the away games against Newcastle (3-3) and Aston Villa (1-1).
In the Champions League this week, they secured group win by playing 0-0 draw against Borussia Dortmund. With 11 points from five games and a better mutual result with Dortmund, first place is a reality. In Group G, City dropped further points only through a 0-0 draw at FC Copenhagen.
Guardiola has an almost fit squad. Only Kyle Walker and Kalvin Philips are missing due to groin and shoulder injuries.
