Manchester City vs Leicester Prediction & Betting tips
Because Liverpool won in the final phase of Newcastle United on Saturday evening, Manchester City cannot become a champion on Monday evening. The Citizens then play in their own Etihad Stadium against Leicester City and with a win, Manchester City will probably take the lead for the last time this season.
Manchester City:
Manchester City is aiming for the second championship in two years. If The Citizens beat Leicester City on Monday night and grab three points at Brighton & Hove Albion next weekend, the sixth championship of Manchester City is a fact. Fair is fair: over the entire season it is also justified that Manchester City will most likely win the Premier League, because The Citizens perform extremely stable from day one. Should Manchester City take the Premier League title and also win the FA Cup this month, Pep Guardiola can look back on this season in a reasonably satisfied way, despite Manchester City being eliminated early in the Champions League.
With twelve wins from the last twelve games in the Premier League, Manchester City was in the last months busy with a huge final sprint. Because The Citizens have not lost any points in the Premier League since the end of January, they were able to level with Liverpool and eventually pass The Reds on the rankings. In that series of twelve games, Manchester City won against Arsenal (3-1), Everton (0-2), Chelsea (6-0), Tottenham Hotspur (0-1) and Manchester United (0-2). In other words: we can state that in recent months The Citizens have also shown to the top clubs in the Premier League that there is actually no size on this team from Pep Guardiola. Now only the ultimate award must follow.
Leicester City:
A season of turmoil is almost over for Leicester City. The Foxes fired Claude Puel earlier in the season and under Brendan Rodgers things got better at Leicester City. The Northern Irishman was appointed with a view to next season and was given the time to experiment with his group of players in the last months of this season. For the time being this has succeeded, because Rodgers is already doing well with Leicester City. Because The Foxes lost a lot of points in the first months of the season, a seventh place seems out of sight for Leicester City.
Certainly because The Foxes are still playing against Manchester City and Chelsea. It is not inconceivable that Leicester City will not take any points in those last two games. Nevertheless, The Foxes showed against Arsenal last weekend that they need not be afraid of any top teams. In its own King Power Stadium, Leicester City won 3-0 against Arsenal, partly due to two late goals from Jamie Vardy. The overwhelming victory over Arsenal should give Leicester City some confidence in the run-up to Monday’s game. On the other hand, they also know at Leicester City that Manchester City is a few classes better than Arsenal.
