Manchester City vs. Leicester City: Premier League pick, prediction, TV channel, live stream, watch online
As has been the case for much of the last month, Liverpool
won which means Manchester City now needs to do the same to return to
first place in the Premier League. City went from first to second with
Liverpool's 3-2 win at Newcastle on Friday, and three points on Monday
against Leicester City will get Pep Guardiola's team back into the top
spot with one game remaining.
Only a victory will help City, while
Leicester City looks to spoil the team's title chances. It's worth
noting Leicester actually beat City 2-1 on Boxing Day.

Storylines
Manchester City: A
draw is pretty much the same thing as a loss here, as it would see
Liverpool in sole possession in first place ahead of the final matchday
of the season next Sunday. If City wins its next two games, it wins the
Premier League. It's plain and simple for Guardiola and company. Win or
win.
Leicester Cit: The Foxes have been up and
down all season, evident by the 15-6-15 record. While this team is far
from its Premier League-winning days, it's still in stable condition and
every year its stays in the top flight is a good year. But floating
around mid table isn't what this team expects. There is still a chance
to finish as high as seventh, but they've got to win the last two.
Manchester City vs. Leicester City prediction
The
Leicester defense gives Manchester City some trouble, but the speed and
technical ability of Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling eventually get
to them, and in the end City wins a narrow one.
