Match preview

Manchester City have eased the pain of their 1-0 loss at Tottenham with successive 5-0 home wins over Norwich and Arsenal, and their resurgence can continue with a victory at the King Power Stadium.

Away games are likely to be a lot tougher now fans are back in the stadiums and City will have full respect for Leicester, who deservedly beat them 1-0 in last month's Community Shield.

However, City were nowhere near full-strength at Wembley and should be in far better shape this weekend with Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne hoping to return.

Pep Guardiola should have some top-class attacking options on the bench and may need to use them because Leicester will have their moments and could get on the scoresheet.

The Foxes have scored in six of their last ten league meetings with City but seven of them have seen the Citizens walk away with the points.
