Leicester v Man City

(Tom Carnduff)

(video no longer available)

One caused a huge upset last time out, while the other was also the victim of one.

Leicester beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, and as we’ve discussed above, City now find themselves four points behind Liverpool after a shock defeat to Palace.

Despite those results, City are still odds-on 4/11 favourites for victory and we’d expect Pep Guardiola’s men to respond in positive fashion as they aim to close that gap above.

They will also be hoping that Liverpool stumble at some point before the two sides meet at the Etihad next week.

Given home ties against Newcastle and Arsenal beforehand, it’s a likely possibility that the Anfield club will end with six points from six and it’s up to City to keep that pressure on.

We can take lessons on what to expect by looking at City’s 2017/18 campaign, where they lost just three times in the league and cup.

On all three occasions, they would score three goals in the following week.

The 4-3 thriller at Anfield was followed by a 3-1 win over Newcastle, The 3-2 loss to rivals United was followed by a 3-1 away win at Tottenham and the shock FA Cup loss to Wigan was followed by a 3-0 win against Arsenal (with another 3-0 win days later).

They’ve already demonstrated an ability to bounce back under Guardiola’s guidance, and we should expect to see that at the King Power Stadium.
