Pep Guardiola’s side are stumbling into 2025 but should get back to winning ways
Manchester City face Leicester in their final game of 2024.
A 1-1 draw with Everton, in which Erling Haaland missed a penalty, made in one win in nine in the Premier League for the champions, who are now 12 points off table-topping Liverpool.
It was another frustrating day for City, who bosses possession but again still struggled to find the crucial click in attack to make their dominance count.
But Leicester should pose little threat, having lost three on the bounce under new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy in which time they have conceded 10 goals.

Surely - surely! - Manchester City have enough about them to beat a Leicester team shipping goals for fun.
City are quite generous themselves at the back, and the Foxes have a goal in them, but this should be a routine win for the champions to sign off with for 2024.
Man City to win, 3-0.
