Man City vs Leicester verdict (10:30 pm on September 27): Shaking the fake

Is Man City safer?

This will be Man City’s first home game in the new Premier League season. In the opening match, they defeated the nasty opponent Wolves 3-1. It is important to know that in the last 2 games of last season Pep Guardiola’s army lost.

The match situation showed that 3 points from Man City was not entirely easy. The Wolves blew some pretty good chances in both halves when they were 1-0 down and then 2-0. It took until the fifth minute to make up the time, Gabriel Jesus closed the victory 3-1 for Green Man.

Man City beat Wolves 3-1 in the first Premier League match

But taking into account the factor of playing 1 week after the rival, without friendly preparation games since he was eliminated from the Champions League last season, 3 points against Lobos are enough for coach Guardiola to be satisfied. His Man City got off to a soft start for the “killer” of the greats.

This weekend, a no easier scenario awaits the Manchester Green Half. They will host Leicester at the top of the group right now and will stay above themselves for a considerable amount of time last season.

The big foothold with Man City will be Etihad’s home field, where they have won 10, drew 1 of the last 11 Premier League games. In the last 7 games, Guardiola’s army won, scored 26 goals in the opponent’s net and conceded only once.

Etihad Stadium is the hub of host Man City vs Leicester

From the 1989-1990 season until now, Man City has never lost its first home game in the English league. A few days ago, The Citizens in their first home game of the new 2020-21 season also defeated Bournemouth 2-1 in the third round of the League Cup.

Is Leicester making progress?

Instead, Leicester stopped in the League Cup when they lost 2-0 at home to Arsenal. But that was the day “The Fox” released the roster of mostly reserve players.

Plus, that’s also Leicester’s only downside since the start of the 2020-21 season. The first two Premier League games, led by Brendan Rodgers, beat West Brom 3-0 and Burnley 4-2, respectively.

Leicester temporarily leads the standings

The end of the disappointing 2019-20 season has raised concerns about whether Leicester will have the strength to compete for the top four in the Premier League. Notably, compared to last season’s squad, they lost Ben Chilwell to Chelsea while props Wilfred Ndidi and Ricardo Pereira remain injured.

But with two epic victories, Leicester led the Premier League, a position it has never held since the last round of the 2015-16 season, which miraculously won the championship. Naturally, Rodgers won’t pay attention to the rankings after the first 2 rounds.

But of course, that is a great encouragement for Leicester. It also shows the impressive effort “The Fox” possesses at this time. Leicester will aim for the first time to win the first 3 matches of the English league since 1922-23.

Achieving that achievement in Man City is even more significant. But you have to know that Rodgers never beat Manchester in his career. And Leicester, they lost to Man City in 8 of the last 9 meetings.

We can learn a lot from this game, about the ambitions of City and Leicester in the new season. In terms of results, although the visitors are very fit and confident, the home-court Green Man is even more appreciated.
