Lawro and DC predictions v Leicester
Posted: Sat Nov 18, 2017 10:25 amLawro is as predictable as ever.
Leicester v Man City
Leicester blew Manchester City away at the King Power Stadium last December, but a lot has changed about Pep Guardiola's side since then.
I was impressed by City when I saw them beat Arsenal before the international break, and the only criticism I would make is that they sometimes tried to play out from the back a little too much.
I understand why they do it, though, because it is part of the way they bring the ball forward, and it is working - they have won nine league games in a row.
Clearly, they are going to continue playing that way even if it is risky and gives opposing teams the chance to pinch a goal.
Peaky Blinders: How well does Marc Albrighton know his favourite show?
Will Leicester stop City making it 10 straight league wins? I can't see it.
It will be interesting to see how Foxes manager Claude Puel approaches the game, and whether he leaves Jamie Vardy up front on his own and tries to counter City in midfield.
But anything Leicester get from this game is a bonus, just like it is for any side who play City at the moment.
Lawro's prediction: 0-2
Whereas degenerate is being adventurous.
I do not think it will be the same it was last year [Leicester won 4-2] as I think Pep has learned his lessons from last year, playing on the halfway line against Leicester and leaving themselves wide open.
It is always hard these international weeks, you come back and everybody has been away, but I will go for a Man City win but this will be a hard game for City.
PAUL PREDICTS: 1-3 (Sky Bet odds 9/1)
