The 2021-22 season kicks off in England with the FA Community Shield where Manchester City and Leicester City clash for the token prize. Leicester City missed out on the Champions League narrowly once again last season but were able to defeat Chelsea in the FA Cup final. The Foxes have been one of the most consistent clubs in England for the past five years despite limited resources in comparison to the big teams. Their opponents Manchester City though are the best in the country with yet another Premier League title. Pep Guardiola continues to churn out winning campaigns year after year with ease and it will take some exceptional performance from the others to catch up with them. Jack Grealish Joins Manchester City for a Record British Transfer Fee.

Leicester City have been dealt a huge blow with Wesley Fofana breaking his leg in a friendly against Villareal. The talented defender was subject to a horror tackle which has effectively ended his season. Jonny Evans and James Justin are out as well which has left Brendan Rodgers with plenty to ponder ahead of the Manchester City clash. Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho should form the striker partnership with Youri Tielemans pulling the strings in midfield.

Manchester City’s new signing Jack Grealish will start on the bench against the Foxes with youngster Samuel Edozie preferred on the left. Fernandinho and Ilkay Gundogan will get the nod in midfield with Bernardo Silva as the false nine. Riyad Mahrez has impressed on the right-wing and there is no looking past him in this department. Ruben Dias and Nathan Ake should form the center-back pairing with John Stones yet to return to pre-season training.
