​Leicester travel to Manchester City on Saturday, looking to emulate their stunning performance at the Etihad StadiumΒ during their title winning season two years ago.

Claude Puel's side have struggled away from home lately though, picking up just a single point from their last four games on the road.

The ​FoxesΒ don't have many injury problems to deal with but have endured the continued fallout of Riyad Mahrez's failed transfer to ​CityΒ this week.

Here is how Leicester could look when the game kicks off..

Goalkeeper

  • Schmeichel

Kasper Schmeichel is enjoying another decent season in goal and will retain his place in goal if fit.​

Defence

  • Simpson

​The Leicester backline have suffered a number of injuries this season, with disruption in every position at some stage.

Skipper Wes Morgan has not played since limping off on New Year's Day, with Aleksandar Dragovic filling in at centre-back.

Harry Maguire has been impressive this campaign and is likely to be the main organiser of Leicester's defensive line.


Danny Simpson and Christian Fuchs are in line to keep their places at full-back.

Midfield

  • Ndidi

Riyad Mahrez's exclusion from the team is sure to hurt Leicester's abilities going forward, with the Algerian forward playing a part in 17 of the Foxes' ​Premier LeagueΒ goals this season.

Leicester are likely to shape up into a midfield five at times, in orderΒ to minimise theΒ space that Manchester City will look ​to operate in.

Wifred Ndidi will likely be the glue to hold the team's shape together, with Portugal international Adrien Silva's experience likely to prove key as well.

Forwards

  • Okazaki

  • Vardy

​The Leicester attacking threat is sure to be led by their charismatic talisman, Jamie Vardy.

The former Fleetwood Town striker has been in good form again this campaign, notching 12 Premier League goals so far.

He may find himself isolated at times as City look to dominate possession but his pace and willingness to exploit space on the counter will keep Pep Guardiola's side on their toes.
