In a battle for supremacy at the summit, Manchester City welcome Leicester City to the Etihad. The Foxes are in the midst of a six-match unbeaten streak that started with their goalless draw in the reverse fixture, while the Sky Blues haven’t tasted defeat in seven outings.
Only two teams mustered more big chances (eight) over the last four Gameweeks than Leicester, who racked up seven goals during that period. It’s on the defensive end that Claudio Ranieiri’s troops were the most impressive, though, conceding the second-fewest goals (one), sixth-fewest shots inside the box (25) and fewest big chances (two).
Despite ranking third for attempts (61) and joint-fourth for goals (seven) since Gameweek 21, the Sky Blues recorded just 14 shots on target, engendering the worst shot accuracy (23%) of any team. On the flip side, Manuel Pellegrini’s men conceded just two goals and registered three clean sheets. Moreover, only two teams allowed fewer shots inside the box (24), while they placed joint-second-bottom with regards to big chances conceded (three).
