Manchester City – Leicester SOCCER PICKS

29.51 millimeters could decide in the end, the Manchester City (Table 2, 92 points) and not Liverpool Premier League champion will. Of course, this calculation is too simple over the whole season, but in the last game of the Skyblues in Burnley, Sergio Agüero’s shot just short of the goal line made him jump back to the top of the table. Pep Guardiola’s side have to retake this Monday after Liverpool were in action on Saturday night at Newcastle United and were lucky to win 3-2 at the end. This changed to 31 times this season, the championship lead (record). The Citizens could provide on Monday evening with a win for the 32 and possibly last table change of the season. We are convinced that this will happen and between Manchester City and Leicester we would trust our forecast for a tip on “Man City wins to zero”.

After Manchester United and Burnley, the prayers of the Liverpool fans are now in the direction of Leicester City (rank 9, 51 points) and his coach Brendan Rodgers. Nordire served as coach for the Reds for three and a half years before club legend Steve Gerrard cost him the championship with his slip-up against Chelsea. A few months later he was rudely chased by the Reds from the farm. It is not ironic that just the Liverpool fans, who then demanded Rodgers head, now hope for its help. For the Foxes, the chances of reaching seventh, who are eligible for participation in next year’s Europa League qualifiers in a Manchester City FA Cup victory, have dropped. Six are behind, but the Wolves have the tough task Liverpool on the final day. Outsiders are also the Foxes on Monday night (live on Sky Sports England and Dazn) at Manchester City versus Leicester, according to odds of all bookmakers.

Manchester City:

The title race will be decided this season for the seventh time since the Premier League was introduced on the last match day. Only for the second time ever in an English first league season drove two teams over 90 points. Previously, this achieved in the season 1970/71 Arsenal (94 points) and Leeds (91). At the last heartbeat finals 2012, the Citizens still have the best memories. At that time, the Skyblues could break their 44-year untitled time with a last minute win over QPR. This time, the defending champion wins the sixth English championship and the fourth title win in the past seven years. With a victory on Monday evening, the Skyblues would open the door to defend the title wide before it goes to Brighton on the final day, which have been able to do without their own contribution to the league since this weekend. The Citizens won the past twelve Premier League games in series (27-3 goals) and played nine times to zero (last three times in a row). At Manchester City against Leicester our tip is again: Man City wins to zero.

In Premier League history, twelve or more consecutive wins have yielded only five teams, while Man City is the only club that has twice managed to do so. Overall, the Citizens celebrated 27 victories in the past 29 league and cup games. At home, the Skyblues have not lost since 2013 the last game of the season (then 2: 3 against Norwich). Since then there have been four wins and one draw. On Monday, Manchester City and Leicester are expected to win yet another, according to our forecast. In May, the Citizens celebrated in the recent ten league home games eight wins (two draws) with a goal difference of 29: 5. Pep Guardiola, however, has already lost twice in the Premier League against Leicester. Only against Chelsea (three) collected the Catalans in England Beletage more bankruptcies. Record goalscorer Sergio Agüero scored 15 Premier League goals this term. Only in the championship season 2011/12 was the Argentinian in the Etihad Stadium even more successful (16 hits). Kevin De Bruyne misses again injured and misses the third game in a row. Benjamin Mendy and Fernandinho are questionable.

Leicester:

Since coach Brendan Rodgers took over from his predecessor Claude Puel in March, only Liverpool and Manchester City have scored more points in the Premier League than the Foxes (16). Accordingly, the hopes of Liverpool fans, Leicester could put a foot on the Citizens on Monday night, not unfounded. However, for Leicester is not much more, with the exception of seventh, which may qualify for Europa League qualification. However, this would mean an extremely early start to the season and the preparation for the new Premier League season would be jumbled together. Although the Foxes won very convincingly last week against Arsenal, but the Gunners presented in recent weeks in the foreign as a relegated. So this game does not really serve as a benchmark. However, Leicester scored in 17 of the 18 Premiership away games of the season. Only in December in a 0-1 defeat at Crystal Palace remained the Foxes without a hit. However, this does not change the fact that at Manchester City against Leicester bookmakers ‘odds make the Foxes’ success seem extremely unrealistic.

In addition Leicester has never won a Premier League match on a Monday in eleven attempts (0-3-8). The Foxes have also won only two of their recent seven league games away (2-2-3). Accordingly, between Manchester City and Leicester our prediction for a tip on a Man City win without conceding. The Foxes have a real win with striker Jamie Vardy when they go against the league’s top six teams. Overall Vardy scored 31 goals in 53 games against the top teams and thus the league the most. In his last eleven Premier League games, the striker scored eleven times. He scored in the eight league games under coach Rodgers nine of his 18 Premier League goals. Leicester are not plaguing new injury concerns. The only failures remain Daniel Amartey and Matty James.
