JAKARTA Manchester City will host Leicester City at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night April 2 in the Premier League continued. The Citizens are trying to secure tickets to the Champions League next season, while Foxes, who are almost certainly relegated, are trying to find points to stay in the top caste.

Despite experiencing difficulties this season, Manchester City still showed consistency in the FA Cup, after securing a place in the semifinals after beating Bournemouth last weekend. The Citizens fell behind in the first half, but Nico O'Reliably's entry changed the course of the game, with the young player providing assists for Erling Haaland and Omar Marmoush.

Now, Pep Guardiola's squad has a busy schedule with four Premier League games before meeting Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semifinals. Their performance in the league is quite volatile, with Brighton's draw and Nottingham Forest's defeat.

Etihad Stadium, which has often been a formidable bulwark for City, has not always been friendly to them this season. Guardiola's side have only picked up one point from the last two home games in the league, making them sixth in the table by home performance.

Meanwhile, Leicester City had a very difficult season. After winning last season's Championship under Enzo Maresca, The Foxes failed to compete in the Premier League and are currently at the bottom of the standings with Ipswich Town and Southampton.

Ruud van Nistelrooy's men are in a bad trend, with six consecutive defeats without scoring a single goal, scoring 16 goals in that period. Their latest defeat came before the international break, when Manchester United beat them 3-0 at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester also had their worst defense in an away game this season, scoring 35 goals in 14 games. However, they could have taken a bit of hope from a surprise win at Tottenham Hotspur's headquarters in January, when Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannouss scored in the second half.

Man City had to face bad news after their win in the FA Cup. Erling Haaland suffered a knee injury and was seen leaving the stadium in a crew and protective boot, so it is likely to miss this match. Omar Marmoush is expected to take his place at the forefront.

In addition, young midfielder Nico O'nyak who impressed against Bournemouth has the opportunity to have his first starter in the Premier League. Meanwhile, Rodri is still sidelined due to injury and will only return to the Club World Cup this summer.

In the Leicester camp, winger Abdul Fatawu will be out until the end of the season due to a knee injury, while Ricardo Pereira is still doubtful. Crystal Palace loan striker Odsonne Edouard also appears not to be included in Van Nistelrooy's plans. Defender Harry Souttar is also absent due to an ankle injury.
