So while City finally managed to keep a clean sheet without injured captain Vincent Kompany ruled out for up to four weeks by manager Manuel Pellegrini after the game they have not won away in their last six attempts.

Kompany returned from injury as a substitute on Boxing Day but soon limped off again and faces another three to four weeks out due to a fresh problem with the same calf.
Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has refuted claims that his side came for a draw after the stalemate at Leicester on Tuesday. “I hope we are going to complete with a very good second part of the season”. It is so hard for me to answer things because I am not a doctor.
One of the most unpredictable Premier League seasons for years can be summed up by comparing pre-season odds to the numbers now at the halfway stage – with Leicester City’s title odds slashed from 5,000-1 to 14-1 after their stunning start. They trail the top two teams by three points.
Away games: Tottenham, Aston Villa, Manchester City, Arsenal, Watford, Crystal Palace, Sunderland, Manchester United and Chelsea. “We are right in the mix without really playing that well”, said Hart. The first half of the season is magnificent and I don’t have words to say how happy I am. Leicester had to withstand a barrage of first-half pressure from their visitors but they held firm for the point that took them level with Arsenal at the top of the table.
“We are in a position which I am sure not a lot of our players are used to”.
“As for ourselves, I feel we are in a good position”. “But when you play 19 games, half of the season, and they are continue to play in a good way, it is because they have important players in a good moment, putting in a high-level of performance, and with managers who are doing their jobs very well”. “So for the moment I am not thinking about Chile”.
He added: “If we didn’t win the last games that we play away, it is because we must improve. But without him, we must continue to defend as did tonight”. – Leicester’s Riyad Mahrez (13 goals, seven assists) has been involved in more goals than any other Premier League player in 2015-16.

He has also missed games because of hamstring and groin injuries in recent years and City’s medical department want to analyse the problems deeper.
