Jonny Evans

Evans is available for selection at the weekend against Manchester City.

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."

Jamie Vardy

Leicester initially took the lead in their last visit to Manchester City.

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."
