Leicester City vs Manchester City
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: King Power Stadium, Leicester
Date: Wednesday, December 26, 2018
Kick-off: 3pm GMT
Manchester City fell to a surprise Premier League home defeat to Crystal Palace last time out in a potential hammer blow to their title chances.
Andros Townsend's goal-of-the-season contender was the pick of the bunch in a 3-2 win for Palace at the Etihad and now Leicester City, fresh from beating Chelsea, test themselves against the stuttering champions for the second time in eight days.
Another win on Boxing Day for the Foxes will hand the current champions a severe title blow as we reach the halfway point of the season.
