City's title hopes are hanging by a thread as they host the last place side in the EPL.
Manchester City's title hopes are on life support following their loss to Liverpool over the weekend. Chelsea sit five points clear of City, but the Blues now have a game in hand, as they were busy with the League Cup final on Sunday. Fortunately for City, a date with last place Leicester City should, and we stress should, give the defending champs a shot at getting back on track.
Manuel Pellegrini has seen his side suffer two straight defeats (they lost to Barcelona in the Champions League last Tuesday), and there's growing concern that the season is starting to slip away from City. Pellegrini will want to see a reaction from his team against struggling Leicester, and so will fans.
City are dealing with no injury issues heading into the match, there only concern could be fatigue thanks to a very busy schedule of late. The Foxes are without starting goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, a former City player, who continues his recovery from a foot injury.
