As the Premier League returns from the international break, reigning champions Manchester City will be seeking a convincing win against rivals Leicester City FC at King Power Stadium on Saturday, September 11, 5.00 pm.

The two teams are set to renew their rivalry after the Foxes outwitted Man City to bag the FA Community Shield in their recent clash. 

Pep Guardiola's Man City had a scary start to their campaign following a 1-0 loss to Tottenham but countered the loss with 5-0 wins over both Norwich City and Arsenal in their subsequent matches. 

Leicester, on the other end, defeated Wolves in their opening match of the league but fell short to West Ham in a 4-1 thrashing. The Foxes bounced back against Norwich City in a 2-1 victory. 

 

Leicester's Jamie Vardy will be looking to continue his impressive form after scoring two out of the four goals of the club. 

All eyes will also be on recent mega signing (Ksh15 billion) Jack Grealish, who has been a formidable player in the Man City squad and a threat to Leed's defence.
