Match Facts
Leicester have lost 11 of their last 13 Premier League meetings with Manchester City (W2), while they haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their last 15 against the Citizens (W4 L11).
Manchester City have won their last four Premier League away games against Leicester without conceding a single goal. In their league history, they’ve never won five in a row away against an opponent while keeping a clean sheet each time.
Manchester City have won 19 of their last 20 Premier League games against promoted sides (D1), including each of the last 10 in a row. They last had a longer such winning run between December 2009 and December 2011 (12).
Leicester have only lost their final league game in one of the last five calendar years (W3 D1), going down 2-1 at Liverpool in 2022. This is the first time they’re facing the reigning top-flight champions in such a match since 1974, and 2-0 home defeat to Leeds United.
Manchester City have only lost their final league game in one of the last 23 calendar years (W12 D10), going down 1-0 at Liverpool in 2016.
Leicester have lost 4-0, 3-0 and 3-1 in their last three Premier League games. They’ve not lost four in a row while conceding multiple goals each time since a run of five in September/October 2003.
Manchester City have dropped 12 points from winning positions in the Premier League this season, already more than they did in the whole of 2023-24 (10). Indeed, under Pep Guardiola they’ve only lost more such points in 2020-21 and 2022-23 (both 13).
Manchester City have lost seven of their last eight away games in all competitions (D1), having been unbeaten in 21 on the road before this. It’s their longest run without an away win since a run of 10 between January and April 2011.
This will be Pep Guardiola’s 500th match in charge of Manchester City in all competitions, just the second manager to reach that milestone for the club after Les McDowall (592). The Spaniard won his 100th, 200th and 300th game in charge of the Citizens, and drew 1-1 with Bayern Munich in his 400th.
As a player, Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy lost three of his six Premier League games against Manchester City (W1 D2), his highest loss rate against any side he faced more than twice in the competition (50%).
