Match facts
Head-to-head
Leicester have lost 11 of the past 13 league meetings and have not kept a clean sheet in any of the last 15.
There have been 13 away wins in 24 Premier League games between these sides.
Manchester City could win five successive away league matches while keeping a clean sheet for the first time in the same fixture.
Leicester City
Leicester City have won just one of their past 10 league games, conceding 26 goals during that period.
After a win and a draw in Ruud van Nistelrooy's first two fixtures in charge, the Foxes have now lost three in a row and let in 10 goals.
They have not suffered four top-flight defeats in a row while conceding multiple goals each time since a run of five between September and October 2003.
As a player, Van Nistelrooy lost three of his six Premier League games against Manchester City (W1, D2), which is his highest loss rate against any side he faced more than twice in the top flight.
Manchester City
This is Pep Guardiola's 500th match in charge of Manchester City, making him just the second manager to reach that milestone for the club after Les McDowall.
Nine of the 72 defeats suffered by Guardiola at City have come in the last 13 games.
They have won just one of their last nine top-flight fixtures and would need to win all 20 remaining league games to equal last season's final tally of 28 victories.
Their total of 12 dropped points from winning positions is already two more than in the whole of last season.
City have conceded 26 goals in all competitions since the start of November, the second most in Europe's top five leagues behind Heidenheim's 28.
They are unbeaten in their last 20 Premier League matches against promoted sides (W19, D1).
City's only loss in their final league game of the past 23 calendar years was a 1-0 defeat away at Liverpool in 2016.
Erling Haaland scored 10 goals in his first five league appearances this season but has since found the back of the net just three times in 13 matches, underperforming his xG by a league-high total of 5.2.
