Manchester City and Leicester City will meet at the Etihad Stadium in the 30th week of the 2024/2025 Premier League season. The Man City vs. Leicester English Premier League match is scheduled to kick off on Thursday, 3 April 2025 at 12.15 IST and will be streamed live on JioHotstar.

Manchester City booked their place in the FA Cup semi-finals after beating Bournemouth last weekend. Despite their ups and downs in various competitions this season, the Citizens have remained consistent in the FA Cup and are now in their seventh successive semi-final. After trailing in the first half, a change in strategy and the introduction of Nico O’Reilly turned the game around. The youngster assisted Erling Haaland and Omar Marmoush to seal victory for Pep Guardiola’s side.

The result sets up a semi-final clash with Nottingham Forest at Wembley at the end of April. Before that, however, they have four crucial Premier League games to play in their bid to secure a Champions League place. Despite their dominant performance in the FA Cup, City’s league form has been inconsistent, including a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest and a draw with Brighton & Hove Albion last month. In fact, their home form at the Etihad has been less than impressive this season, finishing sixth on the home points table.

Leicester City, on the other hand, have endured a torrid season since winning promotion to the Premier League. Ruud van Nistelrooy’s men have lost their last six games without scoring, conceding 16 goals in the process. Their most recent defeat came at home to Manchester United, with Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes all scoring in a humiliating defeat for the Foxes.

Leicester now face a stern test against Manchester City at the Etihad on Wednesday night. With their worst away defence of the season – 35 goals conceded in 14 games – the Foxes will have their work cut out to avoid a seventh successive Premier League defeat. However, they can take hope from the shock they caused in January when Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannouss gave Leicester a shock win over Tottenham Hotspur.

Despite City’s statistical advantage, football is full of surprises. A struggling Leicester will be looking to bounce back and put up a fight, while City will have to remain vigilant to avoid dropping vital points at a crucial time of the season.
