With a home win over Liverpool, Leicester City won.

Although it was only a narrow victory, they also took the initiative.

The Leicester City players, who had a poor performance in the last league game, finally proved their worth today.

With three wins over Liverpool in a single season, Leicester City is more confident in the face of the Reds.

The second leg is more certain.

However, the main players have been fighting continuously, and the next game will have to be rotated in the future.

Even if the next opponent is strong.

On January 24, Leicester City travelled to Manchester.

At the Etihad Stadium, they once again take on reigning Premier League champions Manchester City.

In the face of this opponent, they also occupy a certain psychological advantage.

Despite the strength of the opposition, Leicester City have won both of their games against Manchester City this season.

One Community Shield, one league.

It was hard to win, but we won anyway.

Today, though, things were a little different, as Leicester City rested a number of key players.

In this FA Cup fourth round match, Pearson has given up strategically.

Although he didn't say so, he still gave the players chicken blood, but this rotation method has made the attitude clear.

This season, he gave up the domestic cup competition, and the reason why he went all out to fight Liverpool in the semi-finals of the English League Cup was also because he reached the semi-finals.

And now that the FA Cup has just begun, if you lose, you lose, and you don't feel bad.

Just go with the flow.

In this game, Xia Xing still started as the core of the midfield.

At the back, the captain and vice-captain also started the game.

And Morgan's partner was replaced by Hutt.

Up front, new signing Kramaric also started alongside Konokite.

With Vardy and Mahrez both sidelined, Leicester's attack today was up to the two of them.

On the Manchester City side, they are still playing with all their squad.

Sergio Aguero is still recovering from injury, which is good news for Leicester.

And they also hid a lot of key players in this game.

For example, David Silva and Yaya Toure did not start.

For Manchester City, this game is also not the focus.

They are now second in the league and will try to catch up with Chelsea at the top of the table as soon as possible, and that's all that matters.

And it is necessary to chase the points quickly before the start of the Champions League knockout round, so as to save the impact of both fronts.

So the confrontation between the two sides in this game was not too sparkling.

Especially the Manchester City players.

Not only did he play conservatively, but he also took great care to protect himself.

A number of Leicester substitutes were given a chance to start the game, and they played hard.

The frequent occurrence of people turning on their backs makes Manchester City players a little jealous.

In this case, the situation on the field of both sides is divided and even a little dull.

The first half was 0-0 and neither side could score.

At the start of the second half, City launched a wave of onslaught.

Under Frank Lampard, the attacking combination in midfield was sharp.

Milner and Keylor Navas broke through sharply on both flanks.

Fernandinho and Fernando also pressed forward frequently.

Coupled with the rampage of center forward Dzeko in the penalty area, Leicester City was difficult to cope with for a while.

At this time, the heroes of Leicester City stepped up.

German central defender Hut strictly defended and completely stared at Dzeko!

A few consecutive passes, almost all of them were directly destroyed by Hut!

When it comes to the Manchester City midfielder's pass prediction, Hutter is very accurate.

Especially Frank Lampard.

As a former Chelsea team-mate, Hutter is well aware of Frank Lampard's playing habits.

Several passes were all broken by him in advance.

Frank Lampard shook his head in frustration.

With David Silva out there, City's midfield pass control lacked imagination.

Milner and Keylor Navas were sharp in their breaks, but Leicester also did a good job defending on the flanks today.

And Xia Xing sits in the middle and firmly controls the defensive line.

As the clock ticked, the game was 74 minutes into it.

Both sides have used up their three substitutions and are ready for a last-ditch effort.

Fernandinho, who is fully technical, suddenly dribbles forward!

He's going to try to tear Leicester's defence!

But he just dribbled past Schlupp and was tackled in an instant!

It's a summer trip!

He guessed that City would choose to increase the number of attacks in midfield!

After the shovel, Xia Xing quickly got up and sprinted!

Albrighton next to him had already picked up the speed and grabbed the ball early!

Be the first to kick!

Low flat ball straight stopper!

The pass is fast and fast!

Before the 34-year-old veteran Demichelis broke the ball with his foot, Xia Xing took the first kick and took the ball forward!

Then, let's run!

The Argentine defender hurried to accelerate, but who was his opponent for Xia Xing?

Wheel speed, no one on the field today can catch up with Xia Xing!

In the box, Kompany pressed out quickly!

And Xia Xing still chose to shoot with his feet this time!

It's too hard to get past Kompany.

Shoot early, have a better chance!

22 meters from the goal, Xia Xing shoots low!

The ball flies past Kompany's feet!

Kompany simply didn't have time to block!

And goalkeeper Joe Hart was blocked by Kompany and did not react!

The power of this shot is not huge, but the angle is tricky and very sudden!

By the time Joe Hart reacted, the away fans' stands behind him were already cheering!

"The ball is in!

"1 to 0!

"Leicester City have finally broken the deadlock!

"It's Xia Xing's goal again!

"Wonderful fit!

"Perfect goal!

"Every time I face Manchester City, Xia's red blood magically awakens!

'There weren't particularly good chances for either side in this game, especially Leicester.

"But at this moment, Xia suddenly exerted his strength and created a good opportunity!

"From breaking the ball to running to catching the ball, Xia did everything she could!

"He's a tireless football machine!"

Tireless football machine.

Alan Shearer's assessment is quite accurate.

After scoring a golden goal, Leicester continued to defend stubbornly.

And Xia Xing's running is still like the opening, sweeping in a large area.

Frank Lampard accelerated with the ball, but Xia Xing squeezed him away with his strength.

City's attack is ruined again!

Frank Lampard bent over and gasped.

He looked at Xia Xing not far away.

I'm really old.

If you are ten years younger, you can squeeze this hairy boy out of the way?

Joke!

Three minutes later, Frank Lampard fired a long-range shot that was held by Schmeichel.

He stood there for a long time.

The power of the shot was average, and although it was angled, it was not threatening.

He's really old.

Alas, a pity......

By this time, the game was coming to an end.

In the final moments, Manchester City launched another onslaught.

Navas forced acceleration from outside the box and rushed into the box!

Kicker!

Captain Morgan blocks the ball at the back post!

Manchester City's last chance is also lost!

The referee's whistle blows!

It's over!

Leicester City win away from home!

1-0 win over Manchester City!

Their journey to the FA Cup continues!
