Goal Statistics

Manchester City's forwards have been in fine form of late, finding the net twice or more in 3 consecutive English Premier League matches. A PG of 2.4 suggests that run should continue on Wednesday evening.

Scoring more than 1 goal looks like a tall order for Leicester City, with Olaf Janssen's men having not found the back of the net in 6 consecutive English Premier League games.
