Manchester City are in their worst form in the Pep Guardiola era, losing 9 of their last 13 games in all competitions. The good news for them is that on December 29, they’re playing against a team that’s also in poor form – Leicester City.

Leicester City Keep Sinking
The former Premier League champions are on their way to the Championship. After losing their last three EPL games, they find themselves in the relegation zone.
Sure, the season is long, and they can save themselves from dropping down to the second tier of the English soccer league system, but the thing is, their 2024-25 roster doesn’t look that great.
Veteran Jamie Vardy, who’s turning 38 in a few weeks’ time, is their top scorer. Unfortunately for the Foxes, he could miss Sunday’s game due to an injury. To make things even worse, Leicester’s top assist maker, Wilfred Ndidi, is also expected to skip the Man City game.
Another player who will sit out the December 29 match is Jordan Ayew, who’s serving his yellow-card suspension.
Manchester City Want to End the Year With a Win
The Cityzens have won just one of their last 13 games. They’re without a win since December 4 and are coming off a disappointing draw with Everton on home turf. Many of their key players are out with injuries, including Rodri, Kyle Walker, John Stones, Ruben Dias, and others.
Most of those are defenders, which explains why Man City have conceded 9 goals in their last five Premier League games.
On top of everything, first-choice goalkeeper Ederson has also spent weeks sidelined but is expected to make his comeback in Man City’s final game of 2024.
When it comes to Man City’s offense, they’re all fit, but they haven’t been in great shape. Erling Haaland, for example, hasn’t scored in the last four games, even though he had a fantastic chance to do so in the game with Everton – he took a penalty, but Jordan Pickford saved it.
Leicester vs. Manchester City Prediction
Our pick is Manchester City. Guardiola’s men just need to start winning ASAP; otherwise, their season will be ruined. They’ve probably already lost the race for the title, but they mustn’t give up on getting to the Top 4.
They’ve got the motivation to win on Sunday, and given that they’re playing against one of the worst teams in the league, their job shouldn’t be that hard.
Pick: Manchester City
