What is the team news?
Premier League champions Man City may wait to welcome back Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling who have both returned to training.
Yet, David Silva is expected to sit out after picking up a knock late on in the win over West Ham.
Meanwhile, Leicester are lacking in their midfield positions, with Wilfred Ndidi and Nampalys Mendy both injured, plus Hamza Choudhury is suspended for the game.
Daniel Amartey is out with an ankle injury, while Matty James is expected to sit out this clash as he continues his recovery.
Stat attack!
- Man City have won seven of the last eight meetings between the sides in all competitions
- Jamie Vardy has not scored in his last eight matches for Leicester – but remains the Premier League top scorer
- Kevin de Bruyne needs just five more assists this season to break Thierry Henry’s 2002/03 record of 20
What are the odds?
Man City are overwhelming favourites to beat Leicester, despite just four points separating the pair and Guardiola’s men being away from home.
City are 8/11 to win at the King Power, while the Foxes are 10/3 to claim victory.
Sergio Aguero needs just two goals to go above Jamie Vardy in the Premier League scoring charts – and is just 9/2 to grab a brace, while long shot of 18/1 to net a hat-trick.
Meanwhile, Vardy is 13/8 to end his goal drought.
