Manchester City v Leicester Betting Preview – Premier League 13th May 12.30pm

The Citizens can take a step closer to a top four finish this season by collecting three points at home against Leicester on the weekend. Pep Guardiola’s men fired five past Crystal palace at the Etihad last weekend and will be looking for more of the same in this one. City need a strong finish, but Leicester are back in winning form and may give the citizens a tough afternoon in what should be a very entertaining and open game.

Manchester City v Leicester Betting Tips

This is probably going to be a very entertaining game. The Citizens are just about at the finish line in the race for a top four finish and they smashed Crystal Palace 5-0 at the Etihad last weekend. City have gone W3 D2 in their last five league games and have suffered just one loss since losing heavily at Everton back in mid-January. At home, City have gone W6 D4 L0 in their last ten, so don’t’ look likely to lose this one, and they have lost just once at home this season in the Premier League. When they went to Leicester earlier in the season they lost 4-2 and City have actually won just two of their last seven against the Foxes in the top flight (D2 L3). City though have won their last four home Premier League games against reigning champions – each of the last two were by a three-goal margin and over 2.5 goals at Bet365 is a price of 5/6, while city to win by a 3-goal margin is a price of 4/1. Sergio Aguero needs two more goals to reach 20 in the Premier League this season and is 8/13 in the anytime goalscorer market with Gabriel Jesus at 8/15.

The Foxes are looking for their third straight league win against Manchester City in the Premier League, scoring at least three goals in their last two wins against them.. It’s been 50 years since they put three consecutive wins on the board against them though. The Foxes banked a win at West Brom in their last away game in the top flight so are looking to record back-to-back away wins for the first time this season. Leicester’s overall away form this season reads W2 D4 L12 and have gone W2 D1 L2 in their last five on the road. Jamie Vardy has scored seven times in his last 10 Premier League games and is at 11/5 in the Bet365 anytime goalscorer market and his only Premier League hat-trick came in the reverse fixture against Manchester City in December. Leicester have picked up five victories in their last six top-flight trips to Manchester City (L1) so actually boast a great record and should be competitive in this. A victory for the Foxes, who have the worst defensive record in the current top ten, brings them closer to a top ten finish.

Manchester City v Leicester Predictions

Man City home win: Side with the Citizens to put a win on the board in this one because they were on point last weekend against Palace. Leicester’s defence isn’t anything to write home about and they should be there for the taking in a high-scoring game.
