Leicester vs Man City preview: Premier League prediction, tickets, TV, live stream, H2H, team news, odds

It's third hosting second in the Premier League as Manchester City travel to Leicester City.

Given the placing of the two teams in the table, it is somewhat of a dead rubber considering Liverpool's huge title lead and Chelsea's faltering form in fourth.

Despite the uncertain future in the Champions League, City has all but secure second spot with a win opening up a seven-point lead over the Foxes.

Date: 22, February 20, 2020

Venue: King Power Stadium

Kick-off time: 5.30pm GMT

Prediction: Leicester 1-2 Man City

The champions are favourites with the bookies and the form of both teams suggest why. Leicester City have won just twice since the turn of the year - against Newcastle and West Ham - while City's Champions League ban doesn't appear to have affected them too much.

Team news

Raheem Sterling is on the verge of returning from a hamstring injury.

Leroy Sane is also nearing a return from knee ligament damage, while David Silva survived a late scare after limping out of City’s 2-0 win against West Ham in midweek.

Wilfred Ndidi will not be ready for the game. The Leicester midfielder is struggling with a knee problem - the same one which required surgery in early January - while fellow midfielder Hamza Choudhury is suspended.

Recent loan signing Ryan Bennett and Matty James will both come into the reckoning, but Nampalys Mendy (knee) is still out.
