Manchester City welcomes title-contenders Leicester City to the Etihad on Saturday.

Through 24 fixtures, Manchester City is in second place in the Barclays Premier League, behind only their opponents, Leicester City. Manager Manuel Pellegrini has a long list of injuries, but he can count on England’s number one goalkeeper Joe Hart between the sticks. Bacary Sagna, Nicolas Otamendi, Martin Demichelis, and Gael Clichy will compose a veteran backline, with Fernando and Fernandinho expected in midfield. David Silva and Raheem Sterling should be on the wings, with Yaya Toure in an advanced role behind the always-dangerous Sergio Aguero. Leicester City’s Kasper Schmeichel will try to add to his eight clean sheets, and his defense will feature Danny Simpson, Wes Morgan, Robert Huth, and Christian Fuchs. Up front nothing should change with Riyad Mahrez, Danny Drinkwater, N’Golo Kante, and Marc Albrighton providing for Shinji Okazaki and Jamie Vardy. With both attacks near full strength, over 2.5 goals should be scored. Manchester City will be desperate for a win to pull even in the table, but a draw will do well for Leicester and the match will end 2-2.
