Is Leicester vs Man City on TV? Channel and how to watch Premier League fixture

Date:

Manchester City will be looking for their first win since early December when they travel to Leicester City this afternoon.

The Foxes took an early lead at league leaders Liverpool on Boxing Day but eventually succumbed to a 3-1 defeat which leaves them in the relegation zone.

Erling Haaland missed a second-half penalty on Boxing Day as City dropped more points in a 1-1 draw with Everton, extending their torrid run to one win in 13 matches. Pep Guardiola’s side are outside the top four heading into their final game in 2024.
