Head-to-head

  • Manchester City are vying for a fourth consecutive win against Leicester in the Premier League.
  • Leicester have won just two of the past 16 meetings in all competitions, most recently at home in December 2016 when Jamie Vardy scored a hat-trick.
Leicester City

  • The Foxes earned a first league win in four attempts at the expense of Chelsea on Saturday.
  • Claude Puel's side have registered just four wins in 15 league games at the King Power Stadium since the beginning of February (D6, L5).
  • Leicester have lost all four of their Premier League Boxing Day fixtures since promotion in 2014. Their only Boxing Day Premier League win in 12 attempts came at Sheffield Wednesday 20 years ago.
  • Jamie Vardy has scored 13 goals in his past 15 league appearances against the established top six sides.
  • James Maddison has created 41 goalscoring chances in the Premier League this season, more than any other English player.
Manchester City

  • It's two defeats in three league games for City, as many as they had lost in their previous 61 top-flight matches.
  • Manchester City could lose back-to-back Premier League away games for the first time since January 2017.
  • The team in second place on Christmas Day has not gone on to be Premier League champions since Manchester United in 2007-08.
  • They have won four successive Boxing Day fixtures, and eight of their last 10. Their only defeat in that run came against Sunderland in 2012.
  • Pep Guardiola's side have only kept one clean sheet in their past eight Premier League matches.
  • Sergio Aguero scored four goals in City's most recent league game against Leicester, a 5-1 home victory in February. He is two short of 250 career league goals.

But what wins they were. 2 of the finest examples of THAT side and style of play, even though one came the season after the title win.

Quality. Surprised by this one though. Didn’t think we’d created enough chances to make this stat possible!
 
unchanged team please monsieur Puel, a bit of relentless pressure would not go amiss either, we could heap a shitload of pressure on them if we win!!
 
I'd love us to win this but Liverpool then take a step closer to the title. I don't want any part of that. What the **** do I do?

I know Vardy’s goal is being claimed as a return to what we are good at, but it did seem to me very “Spursish” in its construction and execution, not unlike a couple of the goals against Everton they scored the following day. A pleasure to watch when they are playing well, with the bonus of schadenfreude when they play badly.

Apart from the serfdom thing, what most gets on my tits about Manchester City is the way the meejia, have given them the title “City”, and refer constantly to that when they play us, even in our season of primacy.

The sooner they get back to the norm of former years, when to have the City title in their name was a recipe for bad decisions, ludicrous cock ups and general bad luck, the better, as long as we’re not dragged down with them too.

How about their arrogance when they were so certain they were going to overhaul us in 2016?
 
I don’t remember anything like the myth that now gets passed around about that, and even then so what? We bested them. It would be more appropriate to hate every single club, fan and media outlet who have patronising Little Leicester for having had their day but should now be happy with life to young between divisions again. But I don’t have room for that much hate in my life
 
If Spurs don't win anything this season, I can see them having an exodus in the summer.
Then they will return to their rightful place :)
