Manchester City have lost 4 games this season[the same amount of games they lost the whole of last season]. They are struggling with injuries to their central defenders. Tiny defensive errors are letting opposition teams to attack the City goal. They still are a great team to watch but when their defenders are under pressure they cant seem to absorb and subdue it. Also with injuries to key players like Laporte have hurt them big time this season. Opposition teams are ready to sit back and defend in numbers and then by using quick players, counter attack this City team. City play high up the pitch which is vulnerable to quick counter-plays.

Even with all their shortcomings, City have scored the highest goals so far this season with Kevin De Bruyne in some scintillating form. KDB is just a joy to watch, his crosses, his finishing, those first touches. The man is easily the best midfielder in the world right now. Raheem Sterling started the season on fire but then had a rough patch but is getting back to his old scoring form. With Aguero injured, Gabriel Jesus is leading the line. Pep has ridiculous options in midfield with the likes of Bernardo Silva, Mahrez and even Foden now who started their last game.

Leicester City started their season on an average note with the likes of Perez & Maddison not able to link up properly with their teammates but Brendan Rodgers deserves credit for his work. With Wilfred Ndidi acting as a screen to his defense, he has let his attacking minded players to flourish in the opposition half. Guys like Tielemans, Maddison, Perez can be seen swapping positions and confusing the opponents. Leicester have some great creative players who can accurately find their focal point and there’s only one man at it, Jamie Vardy!! Vardy has been reborn since Rodgers took over and has scored the highest goals since then. With the energy of a teenager who will make runs till the 90th minute, he is a constant menace in the D area. He has always been a great finisher but his finishing this season has been extraordinary.

Players to watch out for Manchester City: Sterling, De Bruyne, David Silva

Players to watch out for Leicester City: Vardy, Maddison, Chilwell
