Picking The Best Potential Manchester City Lineup To Face Leicester On Saturday

Manchester City will entertain Leicester in the late kick-off on Saturday, with Pep Guardiola's side looking to bounce back to winning ways.

The Citizens dropped points last weekend away at Burnley, though their lead remains 13 points at the top of the Premier League table.

Pep Guardiola has a few injury problems to contend with, but should still have a strong lineup available to face the Foxes..

Goalkeeper

Ederson31

Ederson has been highly impressive since his arrival from Benfica last summer and should keep his place in goal.

Defence

Walker2
Laporte14
Otamendi30
Danilo3

City are still without injured duo Benjamin Mendy and Fabian Delph, with John Stones also struggling to regain full fitness.

Pep Guardiola has impressive strength in depth at centre-back after capturing Aymeric Laporte in January, with the Frenchman potentially coming into the side to replace captain Vincent Kompany.

Nicolas Otamendi has been outstanding in defence this season and should keep his place alongside Kyle Walker and Danilo.

The Citizens have a variety of options to choose from in midfield and Pep Guardiola could opt to rotate his side with Tuesday's Champions League clash at Basel in mind.

Star man Kevin de Bruyne is indispensable to City and barring any late fitness concerns is sure to start in the heart of midfield.

Fernandinho will provide the defensive cover, with David Silva an option to come back into the side for Ilkay Gundogan after an abdominal injury.

Bernardo20
Agüero10
Sterling7

City are still missing Gabriel Jesus and Leroy Sane, with both players set to remain on the sidelines for a while longer.

Raheem Sterling missed a glorious opportunity at Turf Moor to secure all three points points last week but Guardiola is sure to keep faith with a player who has scored an impressive 14 Premier League goals this season.

Sergio Aguero will lead the line, with Bernardo Silva likely to operate on the right wing.
