Pep Guardiola‘s men travel to the King Power Stadium for Saturday’s 12:30 (UK) kick-off knowing victory would move us to the Premier League summit for at least 24 hours.
It’s a quick turnaround for City having secured top spot in Champions League Group G with a goalless draw against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday.

And with Leicester unbeaten in each of their last three home matches after a difficult start to the season, we are sure to be pushed to our limits in the midlands this weekend.
Everything points towards an exciting encounter, leaving FPL managers with plenty of opportunities to pick up the points.
Check out our latest Scout Report below ahead of Saturday’s 11:00 (UK) deadline...
City star
A rested Kevin De Bruyne (£12.3m) looks set to pose big problems for Leicester City in Gameweek 14 of Fantasy Premier League.
The Belgian was an unused substitute in City’s goalless draw with Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League in midweek.
That lifts his chances of returning to the champions’ starting XI for Saturday lunchtime’s encounter at the King Power Stadium.
De Bruyne climbed back to the top of the midfield standings in Fantasy last weekend with a goal and nine points in Man City’s 3-1 home win over Brighton & Hove Albion.
The underlying numbers show his huge influence on the road this season.
Away from home, De Bruyne’s totals of 19 key passes and eight big chances created are both more than any other player in Fantasy.
He has also produced 12 shots on his travels, second only to the 20 of Erling Haaland (£12.2m) for Man City.
Opponent to watch
James Maddison (£8.2m) is the Foxes’ form player, with four goals and an assist in his previous five appearances.
The midfielder has amassed 36 points during that time.
Differentials
Elsewhere, Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.9m) and Callum Wilson (£7.2m) provide managers with strong differential options.
Everton’s fit-again Calvert-Lewin visits Fulham on the back of his first goal of the season last weekend.
Wilson has four goals in eight outings ahead of Newcastle United’s home clash with Aston Villa.
