Crisis-stricken Manchester City will try desperately to end their alarming slump in form and finish 2024 on a high note when they travel to struggling Leicester today.
It has been a remarkable and total collapse from the defending Premier League champions under Pep Guardiola, whose previously all-conquering side have now won just one of their last 13 matches.
Three consecutive defeats to Juventus, Manchester United and Aston Villa were followed by a frustrating 1-1 draw with Everton on Christmas Day in which Bernardo Silva’s opening goal was ruled out and Erling Haaland saw a second-half penalty scored by Jordan Pickford at the Etihad Stadium.
City has fallen seventh in the elite and 14 numbers of the Liverpool leader, who has played one less game, and their hopes of winning a fifth consecutive name and seventh in the beyond 8 years now are reduced. Fully finished.
Now at the King Power Stadium they will face a Leicester side who sit just shy of the relegation zone and a point of protection after a positive start for Manchester United legend Ruud van Nistelrooy. Manchester United legend Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s managerial tenure was followed through 3 consecutive defeats, with heavy defeats at the hands of Newcastle and Wolves before a 3-1 defeat at Anfield on Boxing Day in which They took an early lead but never looked likely to sustain it.
Both groups would be good for a positive result on Sunday afternoon to start the new year with a brighter note.
