History of the Manchester City v Leicester City fixture

Leicester pack their bags to visit the City of Manchester Stadium on Sunday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at a Manchester City ground. The Foxes will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 29 and win only 6 of the 45 games.

The previous match, at Man City's old stadium (Maine Road), was within the last three years, in November 2000, with Leicester inflicting a narrow 1-0 defeat upon the Sky Blues in a Premiership match.
