MANCHESTER, England -- For the first 25 minutes at the Etihad Stadium on Boxing Day, Manchester City showed why they're favourites to win the Premier League title again this season. Then, for the opening 20 minutes of the second half, they showed why they might not.
Pep Guardiola's side barely had to sweat out their Christmas dinner to score four times inside half an hour against Leicester City. Had it not been for two expert saves from Kasper Schmeichel and a couple of near-misses, they could have had eight before half-time.
