PREVIOUS MEETING

Bernardo Silva was the match-winner as we beat Leicester City in an entertaining game at the King Power Stadium in September 2021.

The Portuguese midfielder scored the only goal of the game to give Pep Guardiola’s side a deserved victory from a hard-fought contest, smashing home from close range after Joao Cancelo’s shot deflected kindly into his path off Caglar Soyuncu.

It took City just over an hour to break the deadlock in the East Midlands, where Kasper Schmeichel was inspired form to prevent us from winning by an even greater margin.

The Dane made smart stops from Gabriel Jesus, Ferran Torres and Bernardo to keep his team in the game, though Brendan Rodgers’ men also saw several golden opportunities go begging.

Ederson made a crucial save from Harvey Barnes early on and the winger saw a header clip the top of the crossbar, whilst Jamie Vardy had a goal ruled out for offside after he raced clear of Ruben Dias and Aymeric Laporte and rounded Ederson.
