Manchester City are coming off a hard fought 1-0 victory at Burnley last time out in the Premier League. They were frustrated by the Clarets for much of the contest but sealed the win through Sergio Aguero’s second half effort.
The Citizens are inching ever closer to a successful defence of their Premier League title as they sit one point clear of Liverpool at the top of the table. Pep Guardiola’s men are priced at 1.12 to win on Monday but given their impressive run of 12 straight Premier League victories, a handicap bet offers more value.
Leicester City FC Form & Team News
Leicester claimed a 3-0 victory at home against Arsenal in their last EPL outing. Jamie Vardy scored a second half brace after Youri Tielemans had given the Foxes the lead.
Brendan Rodgers’ men have been on the rise and are making a push for a top seven finish. They have been hampered by a poor away form having claimed just two wins in their last eight matches on the road. An unlikely victory at the Etihad is priced at 17.00 while a draw is set at odds of 8.50.
Leicester have no fresh injuries or suspensions and should stick with much of the team that faced Arsenal. Vardy should continue to lead the like with the likes of Tielemans and James Maddison also expected to start.

Manchester City vs Leicester City Match Preview
This could be the Premier League title clincher depending on the result of Liverpool’s match at Newcastle on Saturday – but either way, Manchester City are expected to win comfortably.
The only way Pep Guardiola’s side can wrap up a fourth title in eight years on Bank Holiday Monday is if Liverpool have lost on Tyneside (result not known at the time of writing).
Crystal Palace are the only Premier League visitors to have avoided defeat at the Etihad this term, winning 3-2 just before Christmas when City had their only minor wobble of the campaign – which also comprised two failures to win at Leicester either side of that loss.
