Leicester City v Manchester City: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Manchester City have had an extra day to prepare for today’s late kick-off, after both sides’ underwhelming exploits in the Champions League. City struggled without Sergio Agüero and Fernandinho on Tuesday and the pair start their respective lengthy bans against the Premier league champions, who will look to put their mid-week 5-0 defeat to Porto behind them.
