Man City vs Leicester: streaming Info. , predictions and lineups

On April 2, 2025, Manchester City will host Leicester City at the Etihad Stadium in a crucial Premier League clash. This match holds significant implications for both teams, as Manchester City seeks to solidify their Champions League qualification while Leicester battles relegation fears . Despite their recent FA Cup victory boosting morale, City's challenge is compounded by the absence of star striker Erling Haaland, who is sidelined for 5-7 weeks due to an ankle injury. Other key players such as Rodri and John Stones are also unavailable, which may hinder City's performance .

City are only a point behind the top four but fifth place might just be enough to see them back in the Champions League again next season. The weekend saw them win at Bournemouth to reach the FA Cup semi-finals. Now they return to Premier League action and look to end a run of two top-flight games without a win. This home match against Leicester looks an ideal opportunity to earn three points.

Manchester City possible starting lineup: Ederson; Nunes, Gvardiol, Dias, O'Reilly; Gonzalez, Gundogan; Savinho, De Bruyne, Doku; Marmoush

Leicester City possible starting lineup: Hermansen; Faes, Coady, Okoli; Justin, Ndidi, Winks, Kristiansen; Buonanotte, El Khannouss; Vardy

Confidence was hardly sky high for City heading into the March international break but victory over Bournemouth in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Sunday will have boosted morale.

Meanwhile, Leicester haven't felt the joy of confidence since Enzo Maresca's departure last summer and their torrid return to the top flight is almost over. The East Midlands side look destined to return to the Championship having stumbled to new lows under Ruud van Nistelrooy. They have won just once in the Premier League since mid-December but they can't play Tottenham every week.

Predictions overwhelmingly favor Manchester City to win this encounter. Leicester's form has been dismal with only one league victory since mid-December and a six-game losing streak . The Foxes will also be without key defenders Ricardo Pereira and Abdul Fatawu; however, both are expected to return to training soon. Streaming options vary across countries: in the UK, fans can listen via Talksport 2 Radio while highlights will be available on platforms like Sky Sports and YouTube .
