Man City vs Leicester LIVE
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Etihad Stadium
Kick-off: 8pm BST, tonight
Referee: Mike Dean
Manchester City hope to take one step closer to retaining their Premier League crown when they take on Leicester City this evening.
Liverpool’s dramatic 3-2 victory over Newcastle United on Saturday night took Jurgen Klopp’s side back to the top of the table and two-points clear of City.
However, Pep Guardiola’s team know that victories in their final two games - against Leicester tonight and away to Brighton on the final day - will see them retain the title.
Liverpool fans will be hoping that one of their former bosses, Brendan Rodgers, will do them a favour this evening, with the Foxes finishing the season in style under their newly-appointed manager.

Score prediction: Manchester City 3-1 Leicester
It could be a nervy night at the Etihad, especially if Liverpool do what is expected of them against Newcastle on Saturday.
This will be a City side relatively well rested and hugely motivated though, and with no European game to worry about, they should have the firepower to see off Leicester - even if the Foxes spring a surprise or two.
