Leicester City vs Manchester City Preview
Draw against Everton means City have won just one of their last 13 matches in all competitions, an extraordinary run for a team who have been so best for so long. It is a measure of how far Manchester City have fallen that a 1-1 draw at home to Everton does not seem like an awful result. But Leicester should pose little threat, having lost three on the bounce under new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy in which time they have conceded 10 goals.
City are quite generous themselves at the back, and the Foxes have a goal in them, but this should be a routine win for the champions to sign off with for 2024. De Bruyne has enjoyed himself a few times on this ground before. In the previous edition of this fixture two seasons ago, the Belgian maestro scored the only goal with this sumptuous free-kick. This season has always just been about staying up for Leicester but I still think there has to be some realism from the Foxes fans when it comes to their expectations.
