Leicester fell to a slender loss to Man City earlier on this season at King Power Stadium.

A solitary goal from Bernardo Silva secured a 1-0 victory for Manchester City when they visited King Power Stadium back in September. However, it was the Foxes who came out on top in August, as Kelechi Iheanacho's late penalty sealed a win in the FA Community Shield at Wembley.
