Leicester City vs. Manchester City Match Preview
The Foxes comes into Week 15 with just 13 points and they are currently sitting 16th in the EPL table. They are dangerously in danger of getting relegated as the defending champions continue to underperform this season.
Leicester City is on a five-game winless streak in the league as they lost their last game against fellow bottom-dwellers Sunderland, 2-1. It was a very disappointing performance for Claudio Ranieri's side and they followed it up with an embarrassing 5-0 defeat against Porto in the Champions League.
On the other hand, fourth-place Manchester City is also coming off a defeat against league-leading Chelsea, 3-1, last weekend. It was a wakeup call for Pep Guardiola and his side. However, the loss also cost them two players for the next several league games.
According to Goal.com, Sergio Aguero is given a four-game ban for his dirty sliding tackle on David Luiz in the final minutes of their match. Fernandinho, who choked and shoved Cesc Fabregas during the scuffle, was given a three-game suspension.

- Leicester City (4-4-2)
- Ron-Robert Zieler; Danny Simpson, Wes Morgan, Robert Huth, Christian Fuchs; Riyad Mahrez, Daniel Amartey, Andy King, Marc Albrighton; Shinju Okazaki, Jamie Vardy
