Manchester City vs Leicester
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Etihad Stadium
Kick-off: 8pm BST, tonight
Manchester City hope to take one step closer to retaining their Premier League crown when they take on Leicester 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.
But Pep Guardiola’s team know that victories in their final two games 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.

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, however.
