Preview

Manchester City are dealing with a mini scandal as they could see the South America players be left out due to an issue with FIFA and the Brazilian Federation. Add that City lost the Community Shield to the Foxes and this match has plenty of juice.

Leicester will face some injury challenges and want to continue a good run after beating Norwich City 2-1, which leaves the Foxes two places below us on goal difference. Should be a great match.

Which team will come out in front?

Team News

Pep Guardiola’s side have Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden as doubtful. Ederson and Gabriel Jesus as questionable. Ben Mendy remains suspended.
