Team News
Man City
Leicester
- Jack Grealish and Phil Foden were dropped by Pep Guardiola last time out for a lack of discipline and it wouldn't be a surprise if both were kept on the naughty step here.
- Kyle Walker has missed City's last three games since his sending off against RB Leipzig, with Guardiola citing a lack of fitness. Ferran Torres is still injured and off to Barcelona in any case.
- Bernardo Silva may be used as a false nine against Leicester to accommodate Ilkay Gundogan in midfield.
- Gabriel Jesus and Riyad Mahrez would therefore be in competition for a start on the right wing, with the latter keen to face his former club.
- Jamie Vardy, Ricardo Pereira and Caglar Soyuncu all picked up muscle injuries in Wednesday's penalty shoot-out defeat to Liverpool.
- Jannik Vestergaard and Kelechi Iheanacho returned from COVID-19 to feature in defeat to Liverpool, while Ayoze Perez and Ademola Lookman made the bench.
- Brendan Rodgers will desperately hope to have former Manchester United defender Jonny Evans available, though he has struggled with injuries all season now.
- Harvey Barnes and Timothy Castagne didn't even make the matchday squad in midweek raising doubts over their availability to face Manchester City.

@sampo reporting yourself by mistake is still far less embarrassing than scoring fewer than 13 goals against Leicester so yeah, you can still laugh at City.
