Leicester City and Manchester City will lock horns at the King Power Stadium in an early EPL kick-off on Sunday. Both sides will play for a win here to get their seasons back on track. Ruud Van Nistelrooy's managerial debut has been bumpy as the former Man United legend is tasked with guiding the Foxes away from the relegation zone. They are 17th in the standings, just 2 points above the relegation zone, and have a tricky trip to Liverpool before playing City. The Citizens, on the other hand, are on a free fall, winning just once in their last 12 matches. Still, they are not out of the title picture and could get back in the race with a win against Liverpool before facing the Foxes. Pep Guardiola must quickly start winning or miss out on the coveted top-four spot.

Our Leicester vs Manchester City Prediction

Ruud Van Nistelrooy joined the Foxes with a 'colorful' record of three wins and one draw as Man United's caretaker manager. Interestingly, one of those wins was against his current employers in the EFL Cup. However, he has struggled to settle in at the King Power Stadium, losing their last two matches without scoring a goal. Pep Guardiola's men will look to maximize Leicester's struggles and get a vital away win. They have won in five of their last six meetings with Leicester and scored first on seven of the previous eight occasions. City have also won in four of their last five visits to the King Power Stadium. Man City might be out of form, but they shouldn't have any problems getting a win here. Our prediction for Man City vs Leicester City: Under 3.5 goals
