Did you know?

Jamie Vardy has scored eight goals and two hat-tricks against Manchester City but is looking for his first ever Boxing Day goal in the Premier League.

Man City are unbeaten in eight home league matches on Boxing Day (W6 D2), winning each of the last six in a row. Their last such defeat came in 1996/97 against Port Vale in the second tier (0-1).

Man City's Raheem Sterling has scored in each of his last three Premier League matches – he last scored in four in a row in the competition in August/September 2017.

Leicester have won just one of their last 11 Premier League fixtures on Boxing Day (D2 L8), though that victory did come against Man City in 2018/19.

Match officials

Referee: Chris Kavanagh. Assistants: Harry Lennard, Dan Robathan. Fourth official: David Coote. VAR: Paul Tierney. Assistant VAR: Scott Ledger.
