Two clubs in opposite halves of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Leicester City and Manchester City. The first-division clash scheduled for 10 a.m. ET will be held at King Power Stadium in Leicester and can be live streamed here free.
What They're Saying
Leicester City midfielder Jeff Schlupp (via the Leicester Mercury): "We are a tight bunch. The players and staff are together and we all have faith in our manager [Nigel Pearson]. It hasn't even crossed our minds anything could happen like that [Pearson being sacked]. To us, he will be with us a long time."
Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini (via BBC Sport): "This team deserves a little bit more credit than the press gives us. Trust has been key. I had a lot of trust in what we could do."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: David Silva, succumbing to a knee injury, has had limited opportunities in 2014. Always a threat on the ball, the 28-year-old has two goals and an average of 2.4 key passes.
Leicester City's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Hamer; Konchesky, Wasilewski, Morgan, Laet; Schlupp, Cambiasso, James, Mahrez; Vardy, Nugent
Manchester City's Projected Lineup (4-4-1-1): Hart; Clichy, Demichelis, Mangala, Zabaleta; Nasri, Toure, Fernando, Navas; Silva, Dzeko
