A very difficult away fixture coming up. Man City is not the machine they used to be, but still an opponent to fear. They will be without Erling Haaland, but other players are of course at a level to hurt Leicester.

Leicester fans are down at the moment. Some just hope the team at least would be able to score a goal. There is no hope for any points tomorrow. The manager cannot find a team and settlement that can compete at this level.

Man City are 5th in the Premier League table, chasing a potential Champions League position. They are still in the FA Cup and in the semi-final to play Nottingham Forest.

This will be a day to just keep an eye on the game. Hopefully, the team is able to at least fight for the shirt. We seldom predict Leicester will lose, but this time we believe that is the only outcome.

What lets the Manchester City 24-25 home shirt stand out is the collar and sleeve cuffs. Both feature a unique graffiti-inspired 0161 graphic as a homage to the Manchester 0161 area.

The 0161 telephone area code covers a large area of Greater Manchester, including the city center and surrounding areas. Puma combines the Man City 24-25 football shirt with white shorts and dark blue socks.

Did You Know? Eric Brook, who played for City from 1928 to 1940, held the record as the club’s all-time top goal scorer for nearly 80 years, with 177 goals. This record was only surpassed by Sergio Agüero in 2017. In the 1950s, under the management of Les McDowall, City became known for the ‘Revie Plan.’ Named after forward Don Revie, this tactical innovation involved Revie playing as a deep-lying centre-forward, a precursor to the modern false nine role.
