Nigel Pearson’s Leicester City will be looking to book a spot in the last four of the League Cup for the first time since 2000. They overcame Premier League side Fulham in their last league cup match, winning 4-3.

However, they will have to defeat a side that have beaten the league leaders of Germany and England in the same week. Manchester City have not lost in their last 7 games of late, winning all but one. Despite this form, it took an extra half hour for City to beat Newcastle in the last round of the cup, as they managed two goals in extra time.

They currently lie 3 points behind league leaders QPR in the Championship, winning 12 of their 20 fixtures.

They are experiencing a poor spell of form recently, failing to pick up 3 points in their last 3 games. City’s top goal scorer this season is David Nugent, with 11 goals to his name.

Manchester City on the other hand were dealt a massive blow this week, with talisman Aguero being side-lined for at least a month with a calf injury that he picked up against Arsenal at the weekend.

After an impressive win at home to Arsenal at the weekend, Man City moved to within 3 points off the top of the Premier League.

They have scored by far the most goals this season, with 47 goals in the league even before the Christmas break.
Man City have gone 5 games unbeaten in the league since their 1-0 defeat to Sunderland in early Novmeber.

Predicted Man City team to face Leicester City. Hart, Kolarov, Javi Garcia, Lescott, Richards, Rodwell, Fernandinho, Milner, Dzeko, Jovetic

Predicted Score: 2-0
