The Premier League is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Leicester City lock horns with Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.
Leicester City vs Manchester City Preview
Leicester City are currently in 17th place in the Premier League standings and have not been at their best this season. The Foxes thrashed Wolverhampton Wanderers by a 4-0 margin last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Manchester City, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have been in impressive form this year. The reigning Premier League champions were held to a disappointing 0-0 stalemate against Borussia Dortmund in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.

Leicester City vs Manchester City Prediction
Manchester City have experienced a slight slump in recent weeks and will need to be at their resurgent best in this fixture. The Cityzens are only two points behind league-leaders Arsenal and will be intent on defending their Premier League crown.
