Defending their Premier League title Leicester City take on Manchester City, who could possibly turn out to be the Premier League champions this time around, in an important gameweek 14 Premier League fixture on super Saturday. At the moment, Man City are fourth in the Premier League, while Leicester, well, are battling relegation.
The Foxes, for a fact, cannot successfully defend their crown and that comes as a disappointment to the plenty of Leicester City fans around the world, singing praises of Claudio Ranieri and Co after their dream of a last season.
All they can try and do now is stay on top half of the English league by the end of the 2016-17 season.
Do Ranieri's side have an edge against Man City with the match taking place at the King Power Stadium? Not really, if we go by the current form. Yes, Sergio Aguero is suspended, but truth be told, the current form Leicester are in, they are easily vulnerable to defeats against the top sides of the Premier League.
"I want players to play for the team, to be strong, to fight and to be competitive - I want no more. If you lose this how can you win?" mentioned Ranieri ahead of the game. "Not even the big players can win without fight. That is football.
"Last season we won because some big teams didn't fight as well as us and now we want that back, not to win the title but to defend the title and not be in the relegation zone."
Good news for the home side is that goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel could feature in Saturday's match, after recovering from a hand injury, while midfield maestro Danny Drinkwater remains banned.
For the away side, apart from Aguero, Fernandinho and Nicolas Otamendi are suspended, while Raheem Sterling is in contention for a return.
