The Premier League returns this weekend, with plenty of exciting fixtures for fans to get excited about. This includes a matchup between two former Premier League champions. For today’s betting tip, we’ll be focusing on the important clash between Leicester City and reigning champions Manchester City at the King Power Stadium

Leicester City have made an up-and-down start to their Premier League season. After edging a 1-0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Rodgers’ side was dispatched by West Ham United after going down to 10-men. They bounced-back before the international break and beat newly promoted Norwich 2-1.

Leicester haven’t been helped by their injury list to start the season. A plethora of defensive injuries to players such as Wesley Fofana, James Justin, Ricardo Pereira, and the likely omission of Jonny Evans and Jannik Vestegaard through knocks, means Leicester are down to the bare bones in defence ahead of this Manchester City clash.

Manchester City bounced-back from their opening day defeat to secure back-to-back victories. After a 1-0 loss to a reliant Spurs team, Guardiola’s side defeated Norwich 5-0 and Arsenal 5-0 at the Etihad to become the league’s joint-highest scorers.

To partner their impressive victories, Manchester City might see the return of two more creative players. Kevin De Bruyne could feature this weekend, even if it is a cameo off the bench. Whilst Phil Foden is likely to make his first appearance of the season after he spent some time nursing an ankle/foot injury.

In recent years, not many teams can say they have a good record against Manchester City. However, Leicester are rarely embarrassed on their own patch by Pep Guardiola’s men. They have been edged 1-0 and 2-0 in the last two matches at the King Power but they did split-wins during last season.

Though they are usually close, Manchester City do tend to be victorious when these two sides meet. They have only been defeated three times in the last 12 matches against the Foxes and City will look to profit on a weakened Leicester defence.

The five most recent results

The history of this fixture suggests Manchester City will win this specific encounter. With Leicester’s injuries alongside Manchester City’s creative outlets being healthy, we are predicting a Manchester City win. The stats also suggest Manchester City tend to open the scoring and the two sides play a clean game therefore we are predicting a Manchester City win, Manchester City to score first, and Manchester City to score two or more.
