The team Manchester City fans would start vs Leicester City in Premier League

Manchester City will be hoping to extend their lead when they take on Leicester City.

Usually seen as one of the tougher games of the season, Pep Guardiola will be wary of the threat that Leicester poses.

The Foxes have been a tough opponent for City within the last few seasons, with Brendan Rodgers leading the Midlands side to challenge for Champions League places.

However, they've made a below-par start to the season so far this year - currently sitting ninth in the league.

Leicester deployed the majority of their first-team players in mid-week against a youthful-looking Liverpool side who kept a number of players away from the team after a Covid outbreak - Liverpool would come out victorious on penalties.

And although City will be overwhelming favourites, Leicester certainly have the capabilities to hurt them with their prowess in attack.

Guardiola's side will play twice in four days over the hectic winter period - travelling to London to face Brentford on Wednesday.

Therefore, changes could expected to be made to his team with two games in a short space of time.

However, City fans are keen for the Catalan to deploy their best players. Here's who you voted should start against Leicester later this afternoon.

Manchester City fans' starting XI vs Leicester City: Ederson, Cancelo, Dias, Laporte, Zinchenko, Rodri, Bernardo, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Sterling, Grealish
