Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Manchester City will be aiming to extend their winning run to nine games in the Premier League when they host Leicester City to their Etihad Stadium on Matchday 19. The Citizens have been scoring goals for fun of late, and, no doubt, they have improved offensively ever since Kevin De Bruyne returned from injury. Ferran Torres remains on the sidelines with injury, but the Spaniard should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Foxes, on the other hand, were not in action at the weekend, meaning that tired legs should not prove to be a big problem for the visiting side. Anyhow, home win should be considered as the title holders look unstoppable in the English top flight at the moment. All Iheanacho, Perez, Lookman, Choudhury, and Vestergaard are rated doubtful following their positive tests for coronavirus, but Jonny Evans is back from injury.
Highlighted Player (Ilkay Gundogan):
Ilkay Gundogan is a German footballer of Turkish origin who made a name for himself playing for Borussia Dortmund. The skilful midfielder began his professional career at VFL Bochum, but it was at Nurnberg that he was given the opportunity to prove his undoubted potential. He needed just two years to make Germany’s top clubs stand up and take notice and the Millionaires secured his signature for mere €4 million.
That would prove to be a great investment as Gundogan quickly slotted straight into the starting line-up and became a playmaker in the side led by Jurgen Klopp and later Thomas Tuchel. The midfield maestro kept being linked with clubs like Manchester United, Barcelona and Arsenal, but he resisted temptation to leave Borussia Dortmund, winning one Bundesliga trophy with the club and making it to the Champions League final.
Gundogan unfortunately missed the 2014 World Cup finals through injury, but there is still time for the BVB star to make things right and lift a major international trophy with Germany.
