Manchester City will end their sorry run of form at Leicester City with a timely win at the King Power Stadium.
That is the verdict of BBC Sport pundit Chris Sutton, who has bluntly claimed that despite City’s dreadful recent form, they still aren’t as bad as the Foxes.
City head to the East Midlands with just one win in their last 13 matches and they have dropped to seventh in the Premier League table, six points adrift of the top four.
However, they take on a Leicester team who have just one win in their last 11 matches themselves and who head into the clash occupying a place in the relegation zone.
“The Foxes have conceded at least three goals in their past three matches and maybe they are the kind of opposition that Pep Guardiola’s side need to face to start firing again.
“Leicester did show some spirit in their defeat by Liverpool last time out, but I said before that game that I think Ruud van Nistelrooy has a huge job on his hands to try to keep them up, and my opinion about that has not changed.
