Leicester City and Manchester City are playing on the English Premier League schedule on Tuesday and the match from King Power Stadium starts at 2:45 pm ET. The two teams are in the top four and Leicester can jump back into the lead with a win, while Man City can get into second with a victory.
Jamie Vardy comes in ready to play after Vardy and Riyad Mahrez were substituted in the loss on Boxing Day and this match against Man City is a big one for both teams. Leicester has been up at the top of the standings for most of the season and a win here will put the team ahead of Arsenal. Sergio Aguero is expected to play for Man City, but captain Vincent Kompany will be out after dealing with a calf injury against Sunderland.
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini said that the team knows Leicester has been playing well and that the team will not underestimate the side heading into the match on Tuesday. Leicester lost the two matches last season against the team and now will try and turn that around, while Man City is looking to keep things going, as they have not lost in the last five trips away against the club.
Leicester slipped up on Boxing Day with the loss to Liverpool and the team had gone 10 matches without a loss and now will try and bounce back. Leicester had scored in every game before the Liverpool match and now they have a chance to get things going again. The team has scored 31 goals in their last 14 home matches and that bodes well for the team against Man City. The team has only lost two of the past 14 matches at home and they have won 10 of those with two draws.
Man City has struggled a bit away this season and they will try and turn that around with the match against Leicester. The team has scored just once over the last four away and they will need to get that going here on Tuesday. The table has Arsenal leading for the moment with 39 points, but Leicester is only one behind with 38 and they are leading Tottenham and Man City with 35. That will change with this result and past that is Crystal Palace ahead of Man United, West Ham and Watford.
