Although Manchester City is winning but they have got a lesser possession statistically in the game, most importantly they are winning and they are going to be having three points by the end if the game and I see this as one that is going to help them be in a better position as it has to do with their minds and psychology in preparation for the champions league fixture ahead which is going to be a determinant to their further stay in the UCL, By the end of this game, Pep will probably be having an improved strategy for the champions league game seeing the performance of his players from this, they are aswell going to be more confident than they have been before now probably.

Pep Guardiola had enough time to solve the deficiencies and problems in the team, he was even late, at least for now he could get three points before the new year. 
Leicester is one of the last teams in the standings, they started very badly this season and they continue like that, they should have beaten such a team with difficulty, the match is not over yet, it is 2-0 right now, Haaland scored Manchester City's second goal.
Here is little time left for the match to end. Manchester City's goal should be to get back into the top four teams.

Manchester City has made a strong attack against Leicester City today and at the moment they are on the verge of victory. Although they have scored two goals in today's match, they are resisting the attack of the opposing team quite well. Since Manchester City is currently ahead, we can say for sure that they will win today's match. Since Leicester City has not been able to score a single goal until the end of the game, then Manchester City will win today. Despite having the home advantage today, Leicester City has not been able to score a goal and they still have the ball most of the time. However, if Manchester City wins today's match, they will definitely be free from a lot of criticism, because they have performed badly in every match, but they played well in today's match. Although Manchester City is a strong team, they have not been playing well at all in the past matches, they played well in today's match, so they will be able to collect three points.

The difference between can and will do is the difference between winning a bet or losing money.
It's 2-0 for City and 5 minuets to go, for Leicester to pull this out of the fire would be an event, they have never been able to do such a  thing even with smaller teams but scoring at least two against City? After how they played this game, doubt it!

Anyhow, how is everyone that was saying City was having way to lower odds and betting on draw or Leicester is a win feeling right now?
Grasping the sofa or the chair a bit too hard these minutes?

Manchester City scored another goal and they now lead 2 - 0 in this match. The 2nd goal was scored in the 74th minute by Erling Haaland. He put the header straight in the goal and now i think Manchester City should end up winning this match Leicester. Also Leicester city got two yellow cards and they were looking a bit aggressive today, maybe because they were under pressure as Manchester City got early lead.

Manchester City had a draw in the last match and lost against Aston Villa and Man United in their pervious matches, so today they will finaly have a winning experience after a long time.

Manchester City are not superior in this match so far, and both team have their chances to score a next goal. Manchester City are playing with fear that they can not win this match. Their mentality is no longer good and as a champion after many bad matches recently. It gives good opportunity for Leicester City to have at least one point from this giant opponent.

Leicester City can equalize this match and steal two points from Manchester City. They created chances and unluckily were refused a penalty, and these situations are warnings for Manchester City that with only one goal difference and not too good defense, they can be equalized any time.

Manchester City need to find a second goal to secure three points more safely and they also have to pay a lot of attention on defense. Secure their midfield and defense areas to reduce risk from Leicester City's attacks.

Although Leicester has a bad trend, but in the current match against Manchester City at least Leicester still has better statistics compared to previous matches. Indeed, statistical records will not reflect the final results but at least, in the last few Leicester matches especially when Ruud Van Nistelrooy became the head coach, I often pay attention to their development.

At least, although maybe in this match Leicester will still lose against Manchester City, but Ruud van Nistelrooy at least slowly managed to improve the quality of Leicester's performance even though it is not completely good. If, this 0-1 score lasts until the end of the match, then Leicester made a good effort even when their situation and position in the standings are still bad, it is still a difficult job that must still be appreciated.

If not that Leicester City missed quite some good chances of finding the back of the net, the first half would have ended in a draw. City needs to step up their game this second half, otherwise, Leicester City will equalize the goal, and if possible win the match. Unlike before that Pep use to be happy after his men net the post, he didn't do that today because he knows that, victory is not certain.

The draw against everton has added to the string of negative results they have achieved this season, everton increase ability in the last few match made it possible for them to add to the long list of suffering of guardiola's squad at the end of that match.

Currently manchester city are playing their week 19 match against leicester city who are in the relegation zone, I think the match against Leicester city should be their revival, especially while they are ahead of leicester city in first haltf through a goal scored by savinho in the 21st minute, after utilising the rebound ball from foden shot which was saved by stolarczyk, both teams are quite balanced and I think manchester city must really focus on maintaining their victory, because however leicester city is also able to trouble the very weak manchester city defence, so let's see the second half later, are manchester city able to rise and win over leicester city or instead they extend their current negative record again?

You are right, Leicester's game improved after they were 1 goal behind Man City. Leicester players responded well and put pressure on several times which almost made the score equal in the first half.
Now Man City are 1 goal ahead, they have to play better in the second half. They had some good chances but the execution of the final finish was not good enough.
Man City are not superior at the moment, they have to be able to dominate more if they want to be safe enough.

Apparently the bookmakers are waiting that City will win, because the odds on City's victory before the match were 1.3, which I think is low, given that Leicester can score at least one goal. In the 20th minute City scored a goal, but even after the goal Leicester are attacking dangerously and there was a violation on Vardy, where the referee recorded offside and now there was a good shot of Leicester player along the goal and if Leicester were more lucky, the score was already equal.
City need to score at least 3 goals to bring the game to a winning end, because one goal is definitely not enough, especially considering that Leicester in the last round scored one goal to Liverpool, who are playing much better than City now.

If City is trash then what do we call Leicester? 3 losses, one win against an average team like West ham ne draw against Brighton, at least City scored 5 more goals than it got, Leicester is a punching bag at -19, second worse in the league.



So how's that going?


Imagine they would have been offering 2.0 or 2.2 on City, that would make a handicap of -1.5 go for 1.4 or 1.3 at least, do you imagine the risk Bookies would take on that, Leicester beating City on 2 goals for that bet? How and why would they take such a gamble?

You are right they must perform well against Leicester more than Everton because the chances that Everton miss I don't think the likes of Vardy, bounanotte or mavididi will miss those chances so that match will be highly intensive

Pep really thought the problem is from the players but the last match against Everton where haaland miss the panalty he praise the team performance with that I think he might have started to realize the team weakness which he is trying to solve.
The team performance is not base on one player they need to cooperate like a team unlike the way they play with a haaland most score I think he should work on that because any  player with the ball always try to pass it to haaland to score I think on like Man City last season

I think we are all waiting for City to turn this losing streak around and Leicester is a convenient opponent for this, if City can win today it will be a positive step before the next goal, even if the opponent is not very difficult but now any victory for them will be very important. It would be important for Guardiola to understand the reason for this problem, because they have a very strong team that have been champions for many years in a row, this time something has broken.

Actually I agree with you because for now Manchester City cannot be relied upon or unpredictable but I wonder why Sportsbook offers low odds for Manchester City, as if Sportsbook wants to say that Manchester City will get 3 points today even with a difference of 2 goals, is this a trap? of course I am not interested in placing bets on 1x2 because I know the risk but I am interested in the total goals that will be scored by Manchester City over 2.5 goals.

Manchester City shouldn't have much time to continue lose more points this means  if they want to return to the track so before the middle of the season they had to go up to top 4 well that means there is no other choice, Manchester City must win a few matches remaining, let's just wait.

Man City selling some of their current players won't solve or address their current dip in form rather they sign maybe 2 to 3 new players added to the current squad because it would take time to integrate those new players and to adapt to Pep Guardiola tactics, I think the issue with Man City is that their current squad are aging and coupled with injuries, even when the injured players returns it takes time to pick their optimum form thus I think Pep Guardiola should continue to manage the squad till the end of the season thereafter offload unproductive players and sign new set of quality players

I still believe that Liverpool will defeat West Ham because they are not better than Liverpool this season, and they will continue to win their matches in the league because they are the best this season in both the league and the champions league. However, because West Ham are playing at home, they can probably give Liverpool a tough time on the pitch, but I still believe that with any strength, Liverpool will still take three points home becausethey are in a great form this season and they won't like to lose any game since they lost against Nottingham Forest they have not lost any game again. Let see how West ham will perform against Liverpool this evening and see if they can probably get a point against Liverpool. West ham will like to win there match today so that they can go forward in the table. because if they lose today and Manchester United have the chance and defeat Newcastle tomorrow they will overtake them in the league table.


Nobody can forecast Manchester City's game vs Leicester since both of them are not in a good shape this season, they are struggling to win games, and they are playing each other today. Guadiola has more better players than Leicester, and I believe Guadiola will do anything to get three points against them. If they make a mistake and Leicester score first, it will be very difficult for Guadiola to win the game. I am just predicting that the game will end in a draw or that both teams will score, because Manchester City has lost form and usually has goals on the pitch. Let's see how the game goes it's starting in so few minutes. Leicester are in a danger because they are in 18th in the league table, and probably they can move to the relegation if they didn't win matches, so I see they will do and win game and secure the three point and Guadiola is needing point too so th game can't b predicted thing th match finishes.

Wolverhampton, who have won 2 wins in 2 matches with their new manager, will be looking for a win away to Tottenham this time. It will be a tough game for both teams, Tottenham are the favorites at home but I don't think Wolverhampton will give up easily.
Fulham will face Bournemouth at home.We know that both teams are unbeaten in recent weeks and are giving their opponents a hard time.Both teams have no problem finding goals in the matches they play.If we look at the last meetings between them, Bournemouth has the advantage.It will be a difficult encounter.

Manchester City have everything they need to turn things around, it's just a matter of time, they will be very busy in the January transfer window to fulfill the fans' desire to finish in a better position at the end of the season. Currently, Manchester City's financial condition is very healthy, they can do anything to bring in quality players, especially with the big name of the club which has been full of achievements in the last five years, it will be easier for them to convince players to become part of the squad led by Pep Guardiola. As long as the club management still trusts Guardiola as a coach, the current crisis will soon end and they will be the favorites in the EPL and UCL next season.
