Early kick off tomorrow and already loads of chat from the away fans. They are pretty much saying the same thing, so I am just going to post now, and give everyone time to digest the comments. I’ve got to say that their fans seem like quite a decent bunch, quite happy and humble. According to the media the happiness is the key to their success. At least we know where we have been going wrong now! Some very good points made here, and my favourite thing is they just want to have a good time and enjoy the football, I love that. For my part, I am terrified.
Now …COME ON CITY!!!

My favourite
Biggest game in our history?
And the rest…
I rate Taylor as a ref, but it’s strange he’s been given this one considering he’s from Manchester…
Don’t get any bigger than this.. A draw would be a great result… But we could beat them.. 0-1..vardy from 85yards!
Beat them and the media will start suggesting en masse we can win it…Draw and we are still clear at the top…Lose and we are still level on points…It’s a free pass.
They didn’t look great today against Sunderland but lets be realistic, they are a totally different animal at home than away. We will do very well to get anything out of this game even if we play to our potential. Gonna go with a loss, but think it will be a tight one, 2-1 to Man City.
Don’t want to set up not to lose, and be defensive, but a draw would be a great result. Have faith in Claudio to get the balance right.
It’s a six-pointer (I’m in disbelief saying that) — draw and that’s very very satisfying. We can do this!
I’m already bricking this
I’ll take a draw for both the next 2 games.If we win them both I probably won’t be able to sleep until May
So looking forward to this one. Smash and grab please
Do we go 4-3-3, or play 4-4-2? Shinji has been immense the last four or so games…But its Man city…Ugh
every time i see a thoughts thread i say “must win” or “big game” but now, this is THE game this will be the title decider in my eyes now. Even writing this now i feel sick with worry. by 12 on saturday i will be catatonic.
Aguero needs to go away
Draw to Man city and beat Arsenal. Lovely jubbly
Best home record for a reason…will be up against it all game
Well we know we will cause their defence problems, I think we’re capable of anything now, just amazing
Wow, watching motd it looks they were hanging on for most of the game vs Sunderland!
They looked very average apart from Hart who was worldy!
Depends which Man City turn up. I think we can do this and show Guardiola that he’s actually joined the wrong club!! Realistically a point would be “fantastic” as Claudio says. We need to press, press like Pep would want, let them have the ball ,that Pep wouldnt want and do them on the break. 2-2 for me.
We would break social media, internet everything if we win this game, the hype would just be unreal.
Although I think we could win, I’d snap your hand off if you offered me a draw now.
Call me insane but I think we’ll win. I really do think we’ll do it.
After the way Sunderland carved them up, we can beat them and Vardy and Mahrez will expose their slow defence…I’ll take a draw though!
We are defending so well and after our mini lull in attack we are back to somewhere near our best…We can win this game, after tonight I believe in a win here. And not just a park the bus lucky 1-0 win. A resounding win by a clear margin…We are Leicester City Football Club and we are top of the league.
Championship defining game for us IMO. If Ranieri has balls we go for it and attack all out 3-1 us. Otherwise if he goes safe a draw at best. You cant win the league without winning these typs of games. Come on boys!
If Vardy gets a run on Demechelis or Mangala then he will rip them to shreds, he is way too fast for them, they are slow and sluggish, both of them. Kompany is not back for 2 weeks thankfully…Aguero worries me, he is class, he is in very good form too.. he will be hard to stop, but I believe in Morgan and he will stop him. And anyway Vardy is top scorer in the prem so they should be more fearful of our striker…I’ll be very happy with a draw, if we get a draw I will treat it as a win. Another thing guys pleaseeee don’t be fooled by their narrow win at Sunderland, because Man City at home and Man City away are night and day, almost a different team. They have the best home record in the prem, its only away when they have problems.
Just hope we don’t give them the space in and around the box as we have given Liverpool today. Feel Aguero will punish us. He only needs an inch of space to sod you
Don’t give them too much credit hopefully because their defence is vulnerable for sure
Still think we’ll lose but not a crisis by any means. 2-0, Aguero brace.
lets face it… who is most nervous about this game. weve got nothing to lose..Lets throw everything at them, hammer them from the first whistle, take chances (leave 3 up for corners etc), if we go in front, they will be panicking.
People suggesting changing the team?! madness its a free hit! go 4-4-2 leave 3 up on every corner just go balls out full attack. No body has done this to Man City this season and think it would disrupt their style. Really looking forward to it. Win lose or draw we will still be top (or joint top) at 6 o’clock Saturday.
I remember the BBC live feed saying something along the line of a sluggish Yaya Touré being made a spectator by Lamine Koné…The whole Manchester City squad is somewhat scraping by, and that also because of some absences. We’re lucky De Bruyne is out injured for a while, apart from Agüero, he’s been the most lively player on their books this season…I do hope we approach this with both cheerfulness and respect. I can but assume we’ll revert back to a 4-1-4-1, with maybe Inler playing right in front of our back four
Aguero just takes them to a different level when he’s fit… but with our team, who knows what’s possible.
I’m bursting to get up to Manchester , the buzz from last night is still coursing through my veins..I’m actually shaking with excitement for Saturday ! We Should give it serious decibels during the game …So glad I booked the train now
Man City looked average at Sunderland, but they have taken 28 points at home out of 36. This will be the toughest test we’ve faced this season, and a draw would be a fantastic result
They tried a 4-4-2 last night and imo they were practising setting up against us and it clearly doesn’t work for them and if they set up like that again I think we will win comfortably. On the other hand they are trying to copy us, ha ha ha…Still think we can win this one though but like most will be pleased with a draw.
the biggest game ive watched since england v brazil 2002 imo
It’s going to be a tight affair but I think this is the type of game where Man City struggle with the pressure and slip up, so dare I say the scoreline!… 2-0 Foxes!
Need to set the tone early, press their defence and avoid the high line.
Not sure the country could cope if we win on Saturday
I think the neutrals would be buzzing – everyone i know who doesnt support us are cheering for us. Even my step dad who supports forest
Tottenham v Man City next Saturday, weekend we play Arsenal…….could really be interesting if we do get something Saturday…….come on!!!
I’m hoping we just go at them and play our game, don’t think I can take us sitting back and trying to defend and take a 0-0.
People saying they would take a draw. NEVER. We are in the season of our lives and a win on Saturday would be a massive statement of intent. All the pressure is on Man City. We can play our own game and take it to them. If we lose then so be it there are plenty of games after this one where teams can drop points. This really isn’t a must win game…Their defence is suspect and are there for the taking. Mahrez will be the star of the show just you wait and see. 0-3 Mahrez brace and Vardy penalty…BELIEVE.
Aguero is the one player in the PL I genuinely fear at the moment, he’s a special footballer..Keep him quiet and there’s no reason we can’t snatch 3 points
Their defence is going to have a real problem on Saturday. We will score at least twice.
Man City have all the pressure and this will play inti our hands. Fancy us to nck this
Feeling confident we will take them at their ground. The way we play will cause their defense all sorts of problems. Win written all over this. Yes we are that good
If Man City play like they did against Sunderland Ia can see us winning this comfortably, Only Hart that kept Sunderland at Bay
Apparently Otamendi has a tendency to make rash challenges and Vardy should just run at him.
Beat them. Or don’t lose. We could maybe draw. Let’s just boogie.
