Leicester vs Manchester City prediction: How will Premier League fixture play out today?

Leicester host Manchester City on Saturday in a clash between two of the Premier League’s front runners.

The visitors, though, are 15 points clear of their third-placed opposition and are closing in on a third Premier League title in four seasons.

Pep Guardiola’s side need just 14 more points to secure the championship, while Leicester’s aims are to go one better than last term and finish in the top four.

It should be an intriguing contest, particularly given what happened last time these two sides met: a 5-2 win for Leicester at the Etihad back in September.

Here’s everything you need to know:

When is the match?

The game kicks off at 17:30 BST on Saturday, 3 April.

The match will be shown live on Sky Sports Premier League and Main Event. Subscribers can stream the action via the Sky Go app and desktop website.
