AFTER sealing yet another FA Cup semi final spot, Manchester City return to league business and a push for a top four finish with a game against toiling Leicester.
Man City vs Leicester preview
Another FA Cup quarter final success for Manchester City and they turn their attentions back to league duty.
Occupying fifth spot, it's still remarkable to be saying City are in a battle for Champions League football.
But that's where they find themselves and the task has been made so much tougher by Erling Haaland's injury, set to keep him out for a period of time now.
It's ridiculously tight around them in the table and they can't afford any slip ups in the run-in.
Having said that, they shouldn't have any issues here with a pretty torrid Leicester City visiting the Etihad.
Seven defeats on the spin, not scoring in five successive games, the Foxes are second bottom and fortunate Southampton have been so dreadful to keep them off the foot of the table.
They're nine points adrift of safety and have showed very little signs of putting up any sort of fight to get out of it.
Just one win in 12 away from home – at Spurs – with a draw against fellow strugglers Ipswich in that run.
Their saving grace could be that Haaland injury, to avoid real embarrassment.

Man City vs Leicester predictions and tips
He Khan do it
Leicester will spend plenty of time without the ball.
In Bilal El Khannouss, there's someone that has maybe gone under the radar in the card market, having registered 24 fouls in 24 Premier League apperances.
Two bookings in his last five appearances for Leicester too and very decent value in the market.

Target time
Savinho returned to City training earlier this week so this might be an outside shout if he's not involved from the start.
If he is, his pace and trickery down the City right will be a huge avenue for them against a Leicester side who could look to sit in.
Only one Premier League goal to his name but 19 shots on target to his name this season. This could be shooty-in.
- Savinho over 1 shot on target at 2/1 with William Hill – CLAIM HERE
