Who's in contention to play?

Centre-back Jonny Evans was forced to withdraw in the first half of City's FA Cup Final success.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference on Monday, Brendan Rodgers told the media: "Jonny [Evans] won’t play in the game, he’ll struggle for that. We’ll see what he’s like for next weekend, but he won’t be involved tomorrow. There’s nothing to report at the moment, it’s only the second day after the game. But we’ll see how they are. The only other one is [Cengiz] Ünder, who’s struggling a little with his hip. We’ll see if he can be available."

What happened last time?

Wilfred Ndidi celebrates his first goal of the season in City's 2-0 success over Chelsea.

The last Premier League clash against the Blues saw Leicester claim all three points at King Power Stadium in January 2020. Goals from James Maddison and Wilfred Ndidi secured a 2-0 victory which sent the Foxes to the top of the league standings.
