Leicester City squad vs Man City revealed

Leicester have no fresh injury concerns ahead of their game against Manchester City.

The Foxes remain without long-term absentees Daniel Amartey and Matty James but there were no other key players missing as Brendan Rodgers' squad arrived at The Lowry Hotel on Sunday night.

Leicester have one of the league's form strikers in Jamie Vardy, the 32-year-old who has scored 11 goals in his last 11 Premier League appearances. He is the division's joint-top scorer in 2019 along with Sadio Mane on 12 goals.

Discussing Vardy's threat in his press conference on Friday, City manager Pep Guardiola said: "I think his career speaks for itself - not just the last few games - but (lately) he's scored every single game.

"He's done incredible in this league. He's an incredible striker with his movement, finishing, fighting.

"I think before they were a counter-attack team but now with Brendan Rodgers they have another way to play, and they can use that and control all parts of the game."

Youri Tielemans, the Belgian midfielder on loan at Leicester from Monaco, has either scored or assisted a goal in seven of his previous eight top-flight appearances.

A win for Leicester at the Etihad will move them up to eighth in the table and also keep them in contention for a seventh-placed finish going into the final weekend of the season.

Midfielders: Youri Tielemans, Wilfred Ndidi, Hamza Choudhury, Nampalys Mendy, James Maddison, Marc Albrighton, Demarai Gray

Forwards: Shinji Okazaki, Jamie Vardy, Kelechi Iheanacho
