Book now for City v Leicester

Midweek football is back at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday as City face Leicester in the Barclays Premier League.

With City aiming for a third Premier League title in four years and Leicester looking to climb off the bottom of the table, this is sure to be an unmissable clash.

There’s also a chance you’ll see our new signing Wilfried Bony in action - will this be the night he scores his first City goal? The game isn’t being televised in the UK, so there’s only one way to find out!
