Manchester City is in 7th place in the English Premier League standings (six points after three rounds). The Citizens had an unconvincing start to the new season. The reigning champions of the country lost to Leicester in the English Super Cup (0-1) and then unsuccessfully started their title defense, losing away to Tottenham (1-0). Those misfires gave Guardiola’s team some serious motivation in the following games. The Sky Blues defeated Norwich City on August 21 (5-0), and a week later this result was repeated in the confrontation against Arsenal (5-0). In the match with the Gunners, the Citizens were helped by the sending-off of Granit Xhaka in the 1st half, which dispelled the hopes of the Londoners for points.
Both teams have a large number of injured players and people who just recently returned from the national teams. For this reason, the opponents are unlikely to show the best game. Manchester City's chances don't seem so clear after losing the top two goalkeepers. The 36-year-old Scott Carson has played only one official match in the last two years. He played 90 minutes in the match against Newcastle on May 14 (4-3). That game was the first for a goalkeeper in the Premier League since 2011. The goalkeeper's lack of playing practice can be a serious problem for Guardiola's team. This gives Leicester a chance to surprise Manchester City for the second time this season. In four out of five previous home matches in all tournaments, the Foxes have not lost with a difference of more than one goal. This result was also recorded in the English Super Cup match.
Prediction for the match: Leicester to win with +1.0 handicap
