Manchester United are the closest to them but they trail the log-leaders with 17 points, though, they have two games in hand.

It wasn't very easy for City in the early minutes of the game as most of their efforts were neutralised by the Foxes.

The Etihad Stadium side had an opportunity to take the lead in the opening half but the goal was ruled out for offside and till the end of the first stanza, none of the two teams got close.
