Who's in contention to play?

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers said: "[Jonny Evans is] fine. He’s trained this last numbers of days, so he’s available. He’s had a good couple of weeks and I think, for most players, they’re not going to be 100 per cent. I’d still have Jonny Evans at 80 per cent because he’s such a quality player."

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said: "Well, the situation we have right now, we have just 13 players available in the first team. We need the academy, not just for the training sessions. They can be selected during the games."

What happened last time?

Despite taking the lead at Etihad Stadium, the Foxes suffered a 3-1 defeat to Man City on their last visit to Etihad Stadium on Saturday 21 December, 2019.

Jamie Vardy's stylish lob of Ederson in the first half put Leicester in front, but goals from Riyad Mahrez - now at Man City - İlkay Gündoğan and Gabriel Jesus consigned the visitors to a rare defeat in 2019.

"They were very, very good," Brendan Rodgers said at full-time. "The big teams can play to that level. Tonight showed everybody how well this team have done. We will learn good lessons from this game."

When can I catch match highlights?

Just two hours after full-time in Manchester, you can access a two-minute highlights package on LCFC TV - available for free to Digital Members on the Club's official website (free sign-up).

Short clips will also be available on Leicester City's official social media channels, while a full highlights video will be published on LCFC.com at midnight following the fixture.

Please note that in the interests of safety, Leicester City’s fixtures will continue to be played behind closed doors. To ensure matches can still go ahead and to help control the spread of COVID-19, the Football Club kindly asks its supporters to continue to follow their team from home and not to gather at any stadia.
