Without Erling Haaland, Manchester City will find it difficult to rain goals against Leicester
Boosted by their FA Cup win over Bournemouth, Manchester City will be looking to give their fans another reason to celebrate when they take on Leicester City in the Premier League round 30. The Citizens are eyeing a Champions League place and will be sure to be at their best against the Wolves.
January signing Omar Marmoush is pushing for a start after sealing victory for Manchester City at the Vitality Stadium.
Players like Rodri, Akanji, Ake and Stones are still in the recovery room. But the biggest loss is the absence of top scorer Erling Haaland, which has reduced the attacking power.
Leicester City, meanwhile, are stuck in the relegation zone with just 17 points and, with a run of seven defeats in all competitions, are unlikely to cause a shock at the Etihad. Manchester City beat Leicester City 3-1 when they last met at the Etihad. Midfielder Abdel Fatawu will be the only absentee for the visitors.
Prediction: Manchester City - Leicester 2-1

Leicester are far behind Manchester City in terms of strength and form, so they will inevitably lose by a large margin at Etihad, but will they lose by what score? The initial match odds are Manchester City is handicapped by 2 goals and 2 and a half, Leicester is losing money (only winning 82).
But when Haaland's absence was announced, Manchester City were only 2 goals down, and by this morning, Leicester's price had moved up to 97, as if the market was still bearish. The underdog was safer, as Man City did not have to win by 3 goals. The bookies also publicly announced that the amount of money bet on the home team accounted for 73% of the total in these matches.
