How Does Leicester City Arrive?

In their most recent match, they fell to Liverpool 3-1, showing struggles against stronger opponents. Previously, they also suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat to Wolverhampton, revealing defensive issues and a lack of goal-scoring opportunities.

Despite their challenging circumstances, Leicester has had some positive moments this season, such as their 3-1 victory over West Ham earlier this month.

This match against Manchester City presents a significant challenge for a team urgently seeking points.
