Leicester 0-2 Manchester City

Current streaks

Recent form

Leicester

Leicester City's recent form has been particularly poor, with the Foxes currently languishing in 18th position in the Premier League. The club are on a concerning three-match losing streak, having conceded a whopping 10 goals in their last three outings. Their defensive frailties are further highlighted by the fact that they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 matches. Leicester's goal difference of -10 over the last six games is alarming, with the team conceding an average of 2.83 goals per game whilst only scoring 1.17. Notably, all of Leicester's last six matches have seen over 2.5 goals, with particularly high-scoring affairs against Newcastle (0-4) and Brentford (1-4). Despite these defensive struggles, Leicester have managed to find the net in four of their last six games, contributing to both teams scoring in 67% of these matches.

Manchester City

Manchester City's recent form has been uncharacteristically poor, with the reigning champions currently languishing in 7th place in the Premier League. The Citizens are on a concerning run of five games without a victory, including a three-match losing streak across all competitions. Their usually potent attack has been misfiring, averaging just 1.33 goals per game in their last six outings, while their defence has been uncharacteristically porous, conceding 1.5 goals per match. High-scoring affairs have been common, with 67% of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals. Perhaps most worryingly for City fans, the team have kept just one clean sheet in their last six matches, a stark contrast to their typically solid defensive record.

Recent home/away form

Leicester

Leicester City's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with the Foxes struggling to find consistency at the King Power Stadium. In their last six home matches, Leicester have managed two wins, one draw, and three losses, reflecting their overall poor league position of 18th. The team's defensive frailties are evident, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game, which has contributed to their negative goal difference. However, Leicester's matches have been entertaining for neutrals, with over 2.5 goals occurring in 83% of these games and both teams scoring in 67% of them. The Foxes have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, notably their 3-1 victory over West Ham and a 3-0 defeat to Wolves. Despite their struggles, Leicester have shown they can still be a threat going forward, averaging 1.33 goals per game, but their inability to keep clean sheets (only one in the last six home games) has been a significant factor in their poor run of form.

Manchester City

Manchester City's recent away form has been alarmingly poor, with the club failing to secure a single victory in their last six matches on the road. The Citizens have endured a dismal run of five defeats and one draw, conceding a worrying 14 goals whilst only managing to score five themselves. This defensive frailty is highlighted by their failure to keep a clean sheet in any of these fixtures. Particularly concerning for City fans will be the three-match losing streak in the Premier League, which has seen them drop to seventh in the table. The 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Sporting CP in the Champions League stands out as a particularly heavy defeat, contributing to the high-scoring nature of City's away games, with 67% of these matches featuring over 2.5 goals. This dip in form is a far cry from the dominant performances City are known for and suggests serious issues that need addressing away from the Etihad Stadium.
