Taking East Liverpool at home, Leicester City won.
Although they won a small victory with one goal, they also took the initiative.
Leicester City players, who had a poor performance in a league game, finally proved their worth tomorrow.
Having defeated Liverpool three times in a single season, Leicester City has more confidence in facing the Red Army.
The next round is more confident.
The main players of Dongfang fought continuously, and the next game was like a battle.
Even if the east leg is wrong, it is very powerful.
On January 24, Leicester City visited Manchester.
At the Etihad Stadium, they once again played against the defending Premier League champion Manchester City.
Facing the wrong leg, they also have a certain psychological advantage.
Although the team is very strong, Leicester City has won both games against Manchester City this season.
A Community Shield, a league match.
Although it was difficult to win, no matter how hard they were, they all won.
The situation will be a little different tomorrow because many of Leicester City's main players will take turns to rest.
In that FA Cup fourth round match, Pearson had given up strategically.
Although he didn't say that he would give the players blood, his attitude was already clear with his fighting method.
I had given up on foreign cup competitions that season, and the reason why I went all out to compete against Liverpool in the EFL Cup semi-finals was because I reached the semi-finals.
But now that the FA Cup has just started, if you lose, you lose, and you don’t feel bad.
Just let nature take its course.
Xia Xing still started in that game, as the core of the midfield.
The defense is there, and both the captain and deputy captains have started.
Morgan's partner was replaced by Huth.
In the frontcourt, new aid Kramaric also started, partnering with Konokate.
With neither Vardy nor Mahrez on the court, Leicester City's offense will rely on them tomorrow.
As for Manchester City, they still played with all their main players.
Aguero is recovering from his injury, which is good news for Leicester City.
And they also hid many key players in that game.
For example, David Silva and Yaya Toure did not start.
For Manchester City, that game was not important.
They are currently ranked second in the league and strive to catch up with Chelsea at the top as soon as possible. That is the most important thing.
And I really hope that we can catch up with the points quickly before the start of the Champions League knockout rounds, so as not to affect the two-front battle.
Therefore, the mismatch between the two sides in that game did not cause too much sparks.
Especially Manchester City players.
Not only does he play conservatively, but he also pays great attention to protecting himself.
In that game, many substitute players from Leicester City got starting opportunities, and they played very hard.
Situations where people are on their backs happen frequently, which makes Manchester City players a little afraid.
In that situation, the situation on both sides was evenly divided, even a little dull.
It was 0-0 at halftime, with no one scoring a goal.
At the beginning of the east half, Manchester City launched a wave of fierce attacks.
Under the leadership of Lampard, the midfield offensive combination is sharp.
Milner and Navas made sharp breakthroughs from both wings.
Fernandinho and Fernando also pressed forward frequently.
Coupled with the rampage of center Dzeko outside the penalty area, Leicester City was temporarily unable to parry.
That's when Leicester City's hero stepped up.
German central defender Huth defended tightly and completely targeted Dzeko!
Several consecutive passes were almost directly destroyed by Huth!
Huth was very accurate due to the misjudgment of the Manchester City midfielder's pass prediction.
Especially Lampard.
As a former Chelsea teammate, Huth is very aware of Lampard's playing habits.
Several passes were destroyed by him in advance.
Lampard shook his head helplessly.
With David Silva absent, Manchester City's midfield passing and control lacked imagination.
Although Milner and Navas' breakthroughs were sharp, Leicester City's wing defense will also do well tomorrow.
Xia Xing, on the other hand, was in the middle and firmly controlled the defensive front.
Time continued to pass, and the game had reached 74 minutes.
Both sides have used up three substitutions and are ready for a final try.
The versatile Fernandinho suddenly dribbles forward with the ball!
He plans to try to tear apart Leicester City's defense!
Could it be that he just dribbled past Schlupp and was tackled instantly?
No summer trip!
He guessed that Manchester City would choose to increase the number of attackers in the midfield!
After the tackle, Xia Xing quickly got up and sprinted!
Albrighton beside him had already speeded up and grabbed the ball in advance!
Take the lead!
Low ball through!
The pass is sharp and fast!
Before the 34-year-old veteran Demichelis took a shot to steal the ball, Xia Xing took the first shot and moved the ball forward!
Then, start running!
The Argentinian defender quickly accelerated, but how could he miss Xia Xing's wrong leg?
With the speed of the wheel, no one can catch up tomorrow in Xia Xing!
Kompany quickly pressed out from outside the penalty area!
But Xia Xing then chose to shoot!
It's too difficult to get rid of Kompany.
Shoot early and have a greater chance!
22 meters away from the goal, Xia Xing took a low shot!
The ball flew past Kompany's feet!
Kompany had no time to block it!
Goalkeeper Joe Hart was blocked from view by Kompany and did not react!
The shot was not very powerful, but the angle was tricky and very sudden!
By the time Joe Hart reacted, the visiting team fans behind him were already cheering!
"The ball went in!
"1 to 0!
"Leicester City finally broke the deadlock!
“No more Xia Xing’s goal!
“Wonderful collaboration!
"Perfect goal!
"Every time I face Manchester City, my red blood magically awakens!
"Both sides had no particularly good chances in that game, especially Leicester City.
"At that moment, Xia suddenly exerted his strength and created a good opportunity!
"From stealing the ball to running to catch the ball, xia did everything she could do!
"He is simply a tireless football machine!"
A tireless football machine.
Alan Shearer's assessment is quite accurate.
After scoring a golden goal, Leicester City continued to defend.
But Xia Xing's running was still like the opening scene, sweeping across a large area.
Lampard accelerated with the ball, but Fu Xiaxing squeezed him away with force.
Manchester City's attack was disrupted again!
Lampard bent over and gasped.
He looked at Xia Xing not far away.
I am really old.
If you were ten years younger, could you let that young boy get out of the way?
joke!
Three minutes later, Lampard took a long shot and was held firmly by Schmeichel.
He stood there stunned for a long time.
The shot was of average power, and although it had an angle, it didn't pose a threat.
He is really old.
Oh, what a pity...
At this point the game is coming to an end.
At the last moment, Manchester City launched another fierce attack.
Navas forcibly accelerated outside the penalty area and rushed into the penalty area!
