What a difference a year makes: Man City prepares for tester at Leicester

It is almost a full year since Manchester City last set foot in Leicester, and some would say they have had good reason to stay away.

It is of course merely a quirk of the fixture computer, but City's previous visit to this part of the East Midlands was a disaster of discouraging proportions. Two down after five minutes and three down after 20, the game was lost before it had even started, with Jamie Vardy having a particularly good time roaming through City's scattered back line. The England striker eventually helped himself to a hat trick.

By the end, two late consolation goals from Aleksandar Kolarov and Nolito masked somewhat the disaster that had transpired for City.
