Why you should back Manchester City
City are on a red-hot roll entering Saturday. Pep Guardiola's men are 9-0 in their last nine matches across all competitions, having outscored opponents 34-3 over that stretch. City are unbeaten in their last 13 matches and have not lost since a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham on Feb. 5.
In addition, City have a favorable matchup going up against Leicester. City have scored more goals (nine) from high turnovers than any other Premier League team. That bodes well against a Foxes side that has faced the most shots (50) from high turnovers in the League this season.
Why you should back Leicester City
The Foxes have one of the best midfielders in the league in James Maddison. The 26-year-old has nine goals and six assists despite playing in just 23 games this season. The last time he played at Manchester City, Maddison scored a goal and registered five shots. With a goal on Saturday, he would become just the third visiting player to score at Etihad Stadium in three straight seasons.
In addition, Leicester faces a Man City side that may not be completely focused on Saturday's match. Four days after playing the Foxes, City square off against Bayern Munich in the second leg of their Champions League quarterfinal matchup. Man City enter that leg with a 3-0 lead in aggregate.
