Start Time and Streaming Info
The game starts at 12:30 p.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.
Leicester City continues to struggle in their title defense this term as the team only has three wins and 13 points after 14 rounds of competitions. They are currently settled at the 16th spot of the 20-team English top flight table, only two points above the bottom three relegation area.
The Foxes are coming off a humiliating 1-2 defeat in the hands of erstwhile cellar-dwellers Sunderland on the road at the Stadium of Light last Saturday for their third loss in their last four games, as per Sports Mole.
The first goal of the match was credited to the Black Cats after Leicester defender Robert Huth buried an own goal four minutes after the hour mark as both sides went scoreless in the first half.
Sunderland forward Jermain Defoe then made it a 2-0 lead for his team with a close-range goal in the 77th minute.
Head coach Claudio Ranieri's side managed to trim the gap to one-point with a goal from Shinji Okazaki in the 80th, but the team failed to find the equalizer as time expired.
Meanwhile, Manchester City suffered their second loss in the Premier League with a 1-3 defeat to current league leaders Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium last Saturday, Daily Mail Online reported.
An own goal by Gary Cahill opened the scoring when City winger Jesus Navas' shot deflected off the Chelsea defender right at the stroke of halftime.
However, the Blues scored three goals in the second half, courtesy of Diego Costa, Willian, and Eden Hazard in the 60th, 70th, and 90th minutes respectively, to pull off the comeback rout over head coach Pep Guardiola's squad.
City had a tough break in the end with Sergio Agüero and Fernandinho were both sent off in stoppage time, which makes them unavailable in this match versus Leicester.
