Aymeric Laporte returns in triple change as Man City fans choose line-up to face Leicester City

Manchester City supporters are calling for Pep Guardiola to bring defenders Aymeric Laporte and Kyle Walker back into the starting line-up for the visit of Leicester City.

Laporte, 28, has been an unused substitute in each of City's last seven matches on either side of the international break and has not played a minute since playing the full 90 in February's 1-1 draw away to Nottingham Forest. The Spain international initially dropped out of the side due to illness but has failed to force his way back onto the pitch since.

City fans also want to see Walker, 32, come into the side and facilitate a formation change to a 4-3-3. Manuel Akanji and John Stones would drop out from Pep Guardiola's midweek starting XI against Bayern Munich.
