Premier League as Man City travel to the King Power Stadium to face Leicester City.

City currently sit four points ahead of the Foxes with games played but remain points adrift of league leaders Liverpool. Pep Guardiola

will have one eye on their crunch midweek Champions League clash against Real Madrid in the wake of UEFA’s decision to ban the club from participation in the competition for the next two seasons.

The City boss could rotate his squad to keep players fresh for the meeting with the Spanish giants. Both Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane will be unavailable for the Blues but Aymeric Laporte starts after also featuring against West Ham.

Manchester City team: Ederson, Walker, Laporte, Fernandinho (C), Mendy, Rodrigo, Gundogan, Mahrez, De Bruyne , Bernardo, Aguero Subs: Bravo, Stones , Jesus, Silva, Cancelo, Otamendi, Foden
