Predicted Leicester City XI to face Man City in the Premier League
Leicester City produced an awe-inspiring display to outclass a listless and disjointed Arsenal 3-0 at the King Power Stadium in the Premier League last week, thanks to a brace from Jamie Vardy.
The Foxes currently sit 8th in the standings, 3 points adrift of Wolves for the Europa League qualification spot, and they are set to face their toughest test under Brendan Rodgers when they make the trip to the Etihad Stadium to face Man City.
Leicester have won 5 out of their 8 Premier League games under Rodgers and the 2-1 victory over Man City in the reverse fixture earlier in the season might just give the Foxes a psychological edge heading into the game on Monday.
Team News
Brendan Rodgers has no significant injury worries heading into the game on Monday night, with Daniel Amartey being the only player to have been ruled out with an ankle injury.
Manager: Brendan Rodgers
Formation: 4-1-4-1
Predicted XI
1. Kasper Schmeichel (GK)
The Dane has been a picture of reliability between the sticks for the Foxes all season and he will need to be a the top of his game to deny Sergio Aguero and company on Monday.
2. Ricardo Pereira (RB)
The Portuguese international has settled in really well at Leicester and has worked a lot on his defensive game, while showcasing his attacking prowess on a regular basis.
3. Harry Maguire (CB)
The Englishman has been as solid as a rock at the back for Leicester this season and he will be expected to rise to the occasion against City.
4. Jonny Evans (CB)
The former Man United star excelled with his wonderful reading of the game against Arsenal last week and he should retain his place ahead of Wes Morgan.
5. Ben Chilwell (LB)
Calm and composed at the back and adventurous on the attack- he has proven his worth as one of the top rising defenders in England this season.
6. Wilfried Ndidi (CDM)
He had his header saves by Bernd Leno last week. The Nigerian continues to be an industrious presence in the midfield for the Foxes.
7. Marcus Albrighton (RW)
He delivered some dangerous crosses into the penalty box against Arsenal last week and Leicester will need him to do something similar this time around.
8. James Maddison (LW)
The former Norwich star bagged an assist with a delightful lobbed pass in his previous outing and has been amongst the most creative players in the Premier League this season.
9. Youri Tielemans (CM)
The Belgian continued his fine run of form with another neat finish in the 3-0 victory over Arsenal and the Foxes will bank heavily on his playmaking abilities when they face Man City on Monday.
10. Hamza Choudhury (CM)
The youngster has been involved in some of Leicester’s most impressive triumphs this season and produced another fine display last week.
