History of the Manchester City v Leicester City fixture

Man City are ready to welcome Leicester City to City of Manchester Stadium on Sunday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Sky Blues are clearly on top, having won 29 and lost only 6 of the 45 games.

The previous match played between the two at City of Manchester Stadium was within the last three years, in November 2000, with Leicester C. inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Sky Blues in a Premiership match.
