Ex-Chelsea star Chris Sutton has predicted that Manchester City will manage to beat Leicester City when both sides clash in the Premier League this weekend.
This means the Cityzens would return to winning ways when they travel to the King Power Stadium on Sunday to face Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side.
Manchester City and Leicester City are both on a run of poor results, with neither side securing a win in their last four Premier League games.
Pep Guardiola’s side, meanwhile, have won just one of their last 13 games across all competitions.
However, Sutton believes City will beat the Foxes and return to winning ways.
Sutton wrote in his column for BBC Sport:
“Manchester City are on a terrible run of results but, as woeful as their recent performances have been, they are still not as bad as Leicester.
“The Foxes have conceded at least three goals in their past three matches, and maybe they are the kind of opposition that Pep Guardiola’s side needs to face to start firing again.”
He continued: “Leicester did show some spirit in their defeat by Liverpool last time out, but I said before that game that I think Ruud van Nistelrooy has a huge job on his hands to try to keep them up, and my opinion about that has not changed.
“I don’t think Manchester City will run away with this, but the only thing I am unsure about is whether to give Leicester a goal. If Jamie Vardy is available, then I think they will score—but they will still lose regardless.”
Sutton predicted a 2-1 win in favor of Manchester City.
