Manchester City did a great job against Arsenal last week and have now won three in a row. They will now clash with the 2nd Leicester on Saturday, who have been tremendous all season. This is going to be a tough match between the two sides who are chasing Liverpool at the top spot.

Leicester (12-2-3) fought really hard in the Carabao Cup against Everton, where they eventually won in the penalty shoot-out. Last week they saw their winning streak come to an end when they played for a 1-1 draw at home against Norwich. Even so, they are still undefeated in their last 11 matches in all competitions (9-0-2). Leicester are still sitting at the 2nd spot of the league table with 39 points, four ahead of Manchester City and ten behind Liverpool.

Manchester City (11-4-2) easily overcame Oxford United in the Carabao Cup and are through to the semi-finals of the competition. Last week they also did a great job to beat Arsenal by a solid 3-0 on the road and have now won three in a row. Even so, they are still sitting at the 3rd spot of the league table with 35 points, four behind Leicester and 14 behind Liverpool. They have been solid at home so far (5-2-1), losing to Manchester United and Wolves.

The two teams exchanged home wins last season and Manchester City slightly have the upper hand in the last five (2-1-2). But they have been excellent as hosts against Leicester in the past 15 years (5-1-1). Taking the Over 3.25 Goals here, as I don’t really like the spread.
