How Man City should line up vs Leicester in Premier League

Manchester City can temporarily move top of the Premier League table with victory at Leicester on Saturday before Arsenal would have the chance to return to first place on Sunday.

City closed the gap on Arsenal by beating Brighton last week, coupled with the Gunners' draw at Southampton. Pep Guardiola's side followed that up with a goalless draw at Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, but one that was enough to see them secure top spot in their group with a game to spare.

That means that Wednesday's clash with Sevilla has nothing riding on it, and Guardiola can go as strong as he likes against Leicester. However, Erling Haaland was withdrawn at half-time in the Dortmund game as he had a fever and picked up a knock, so could be a doubt for the trip to the East Midlands.
