Team News
Pep Guardiola is likely to field a similar team that demolished Arsenal. Having said that, we can see Kevin De Bruyne in an advanced role once again.
There are chances of David Silva returning to business and if that happens, the youngster Phil Foden will have to make way despite making a laudable performance. Sergio Aguero is also pushing to be ready for match against Leicester but may have to settle for the visit to Wolverhampton after Christmas.
The regular injuries of John Stones, Leroy Sane and Aymeric Laporte remain intact with their understudies taking charge.
As for the visitors, a change is unnecessary. The Foxes have been in the run of their lifetime and need no changes from their last draw against Norwich. Their last game may have been a nauseous one but they don’t need any change.
