Sebaliknya, Leicester City buntu dalam memakai strategi serangan balik. Cuma lima tembakan dicatatkan dan hanya dua yang mengarah ke gawang.

Manajer Manchester City, Pep Guardiola mengaku kalau Leicester City bukanlah lawan yang mudah. Kevin De Bruyne dkk harus mati-matian membongkar pertahanan The Foxes.

"Mereka adalah tim yang luar biasa, tapi kami bisa sabar," katanya seperti dilansir dari BBC.

Apalagi, di pertemuan pertama pada awal musim ini Leicester City mampu mencukur Manchester City di Etihad Stadium. Tak tanggung-tanggung, skornya 5-2!

Saat itu, Manchester City dalam tren buruk dan sempat terjerembab nyaris ke papan bawah. Kini situasi berbeda, City sudah kuat dan makin kukuh sebagai calon peraih gelar juara.

"Ya, kami sempat menderita di kandang sendiri oleh mereka," ujar Pep Guardiola.

"hari ini pun saya mempercayai beberapa pemain saya yang sudah lama tidak bermain," tutupnya.
