Leicester City Prediction: Probable XI to face Manchester City

Leicester City welcome Manchester City at the King Power Stadium on Saturday hoping to bounce back to winning ways in the Premier League. The Foxes drew 0-0 with Midlands rivals Wolves last week, with midfielder Hamza Choudhury getting sent off in the second half.

Brendan Rodgers’ side, who are currently nine points above fourth-placed Chelsea, will be aiming to solidify their place in next season’s Champions League with a win over Manchester City.

Hamza Choudhury is suspended for this game after receiving two yellow cards against Wolves. Nampalys Mendy and Daniel Amartey remain sidelined, but Wilfred Ndidi could recover from a knee injury in time to face Man City at the weekend.

Leicester City Prediction: Probable XI

Formation: 4-1-4-1

Kasper Schmeichel (GK)

The undisputed first-choice keeper for Leicester, Schmeichel will love to keep a clean sheet against Man City after the 0-0 draw with Wolves last week.

Ricardo Pereira (RB)

The Portuguese has been one of the consistent performers for the Foxes this season. He’ll keep his place at right-back.

Jonny Evans (CB)

An experienced defender and leader, Evans will marshal his troops from the back and aim to keep Man City at bay.

Caglar Soyuncu (CB)

The young Turk has been a revelation for Leicester, stepping up his game following Maguire’s exit last summer. He’ll partner Evans at the back.

Ben Chilwell (LB)

Chilwell has been impressive in the league and is a certainty to retain his place at left-back.

Wilfred Ndidi (CDM)

Ndidi has been a massive performer for the Foxes. An excellent tackler, his presence in the engine room keeps Rodgers’ side ticking over.

Ayoze Perez (RW)

Perez has blown hot and cold in his debut campaign at the King Power Stadium. A versatile attacker, the Spaniard will be stationed on the right flank.

Youri Tielemans (RCM)

Tielemans is a creative midfielder who’ll be key in opening up the Man City defence. He’ll start in central midfield.

James Maddison (LCM)

Maddison brings a lot of craft and guile to the Leicester attack. The Englishman is one of the first names on Rodgers’ team sheet.

Harvey Barnes (LW)

Barnes’ raw pace and power could cause a lot of headaches for Pep Guardiola’s men. The young Englishman will keep his place on the left flank.
