Manchester City vs Leicester

Team News

Manchester City

• Kevin De Bruyne and Claudio Bravo are sidelined for Manchester City, while Fernandinho is a doubt for the home side.
• There are also fresh concerns about Benjamin Mendy’s fitness and the left-back may not play again this season.
• Bernardo Silva will be required in central midfielder if Fernandinho is sidelined, which should open up a chance for Leroy Sane or Riyad Mahrez in attack.

Leicester

• Daniel Amartey is Brendan Rodgers’ only injury concern ahead of Monday’s trip to Manchester.
• Hamza Choudhury started his first league match since January last weekend but it remains to be seen whether he will keep his place here.
• Harvey Barnes and Demarai Gray will hope to return to the starting XI if Rodgers’ shuffles his pack on Monday night.
• Jonny Evans could continue at centre-back even if Wes Morgan is available this weekend.

• Manchester City know if they beat Leicester and Brighton in their last two league matches then they will win the league for the second season in a row. Pep Guardiola’s side have remarkably won their last 12 league matches.
• Playing Leicester is certainly not a straightforward win, however. The Foxes are back to their best under Brendan Rodgers and last weekend they beat Arsenal 3-0. Rodgers would also love to do former club Liverpool a favour here.
• City have won 17 of their 18 home league matches this season and have outscored their opponents by 44 goals in those games. While this is a potential banana-skin, Guardiola’s side should really come away with three points.
