For City, they're without Fernando and Delph, so there aren't many options on ho to line up. Bony, who had a poor match on Boxing Day, is back on the bench Iheanacho now seems by far the better option of the two.
19:20
Inler is in midfield for Leicester, an extra body to take up some space and probably, they hope, shield their defence from De Bruyne, Sterling and Aguero. Toure and Fernandinho will pose problems, too.

Manuel Pellegrini was pleased with City's Boxing Day victory: "[Saturday's win] was a very important victory, not only because we won the three points but also in the way we played. We returned to our normal performance - playing attractive football, scoring goals. I said after we lost against Arsenal it was very difficult to talk about positive things but I think we had more than 60 per cent of possession of the ball. That gave me a sign we were returning to our style. It was very important today to score four goals and create at least four more clear chances."

Claudio Ranieri spoke of Leicester's potential title challlenge: "You know my idea about this (the title) - we are dreaming. We are in good condition and in a good position with 38 points. Now we can continue but I want to see my players enjoy it. I don't know why we were so nervous at the beginning. Why? Play football, don't worry. If you lose, lose. That's it. We have the time."
