It hasn’t been a festive period with much cheer for Man City, as the Premier League champions have now won just once in their last 14.
A 1-1 draw with Everton means that City have now failed to win in their last four league matches. That run of form has seen them drop to seventh in the league standings. Now, City are six points off the Champions League spots.
Ruud van Nistelrooy’s excellent start to life at Leicester has dipped in recent weeks, and they have dropped into the relegation spots after losing each of their last three. Only a win will see them move out of the bottom three spots.
