Every point counts in the title race, and every match can be considered a must-win for Manchester City. Pep Guardiola’s side will have a chance to replicate last season’s style of play today in case their Erling Haaland is deemed not fit enough to feature at King Power Stadium. They managed last season – they can do it again if needed!Guardiola made several changes to his side for the midweek Champions League draw with Borussia Dortmund, most notably dropping Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva to the bench and bringing Julian Alvarez and Stefan Ortega into the team. If that team selection can be considered slightly experimental – today’s won’t be. Alvarez might be given the nod once more, though – if the Spanish tactician decides not to risk it with Haaland.##NAJAVA_MECA_6767411##Leicester have started the season poorly but have recently shown signs of revival. Although the Cityzens are firm favourites, Guardiola warned his players about facing a quality team led by a seasoned manager Brendan Rodgers.”It will be really tough. It doesn’t matter what position they are in the table. It’s always tough against them because of the quality they have and their experienced manager. I admire Rodgers, especially in the bad moments. He reacts incredibly well and knows exactly what he has to do. When everything is going well it’s easy to be a manager, the problem is how you handle it when it’s not going well.”The Foxes put four goals past Wolves last time out and will be boosted by the return of two key players. Centre-back Jonny Evans and midfielder Wilfried Ndidi will get back in the team just in time.If Haaland isn’t fit for Leicester there is one man who can do the job pic.twitter.com/vMfkNecQoz— 17 (@DxBruyneSZN) October 28, 2022 Now that the pressure on Rodgers has eased up a bit, he’ll push his players to continue on the winning path – no matter the opponents.”Winning is important. It breeds confidence. For me, it’s about the process. We’d played well in some games but had errors within that, but now our concentration is better, and we’ve added that to some of the play we’ve had. Winning always breeds the confidence, but the spirit has always been good. We want to continue with that.”PREMIER LEAGUE – ROUND 14Saturday14:30: (10.0) Leicester (6.25) Man.City (1.33)17:00: (5.70) Bournemouth (3.80) Tottenham (1.70)17:00: (2.25) Brentford (3.35) Wolverhampton (3.50)17:00: (2.90) Brighton (3.25) Chelsea (2.50)17:00: (2.00) Crystal Palace (3.50) Southampton (4.10)17:00: (1.94) Newcastle (3.60) Aston Villa (4.50)19:30: (2.45) Fulham (3.35) Everton (3.20)21:45: (1.36) Liverpool (5.90) Leeds (9.50)Sunday16:00: (1.24) Arsenal (6.75) Nott.Forest (14.0)18:15: (1.70) Man.Utd.
