Tune in Saturday, Dec. 21, as Manchester City hosts Leicester City. Find out which team is caroling at the end of 90 minutes with live coverage from Etihad Stadium on NBC. Manchester City entered the 2019-20 Premier League season looking to defend its title for a third straight year, a feat last achieved by Manchester United in 2009. Pep Guardiola’s side kicked off the season with a 5-0 win over West Ham United and seemed on track for another dominant 4 | Screentime season until center-back Aymeric Laporte went down with a knee injury at the end of August. His absence did not take long to derail the team, as Manchester City was upset by newly promoted side Norwich City in the first game without Laporte leading the backfield. Surprisingly short on defensive options, Guardiola has relied on midfielder Fernandinho as a makeshift center-back, and he’s been unreliable to say the least. When Manchester City dropped the first meeting against Liverpool, 3-1, Leicester City took over second position in the table with a 2-0 win over Arsenal. Brendan Rod- gers has the Foxes back in their 2015-16 title-winning form, and they look to be Liverpool’s biggest threat. If it wasn’t for December 11, 2019 | East Oregonian and Hermiston Herald James Milner converting a penalty award- ed by VAR five minutes into stoppage time, Leicester would have drawn the league leaders in October. The week after the test against Manchester City, the Foxes get the opportunity to redeem that loss, and as they take on Liverpool, they will certainly hope to close in on the Reds’ lead. Leicester City hopes to continue ex- orcising the ghost of seasons past and repeat the miracle run it enjoyed in 2015- 16. Meanwhile, Manchester City hopes to see an earlier return from Laporte: the ghost of season yet to come. Tune in Saturday, Dec. 21, to see if Leicester City can upset champion Manchester City at Etihad Stadium. Catch live action of the match on NBC.
