Over the last 10 matches, Manchester City have had a 7-day rest, they have 9 wins and 1 loss, 27 goals and 6 conceded. Leicester rested for more than 3 days, 3 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses, with 21 goals scored and 18 conceded.

It's hard to understand what Leicester has, they won Liverpool 3-1 in the FA Cup but still lost. On the one hand, morally, they now understand that they can easily score against the giants of the Premier League, on the other hand, they need to think something about defense and bring the match to its logical conclusion.

For Man.City will not play: Mendy, Ferran Torres and Delap, in question Walker. For Leicester will not play: Fofana, Justin, Amarthey, in question Vardi, Benkovic, Daily Campbell, Pereira, Shoyunju, Chowdhury and Evans.

Leicester may have huge problems in today's match with Manchester City due to the staffing situation in the squad. The main question in this fight is whether Leicester will score against the fact that both will score - coefficient 2.1, and if one of the team does not excel - coefficient 1.698. I see it as a logical bet that Man.City will win both halves in the game against Leicester - odds 1.99.

Prediction: Manchester City will win Leicester in two halves - odds 1.99
