City have kept just one clean sheet in their last 16 games in all competitions, which must be music to the ears of Jamie Vardy and co.

Guardiola’s men defended poorly at times against Chelsea last weekend, with Otamendi particularly poor, while John Stones and Aleksandar Kolarov have both made errors this season.

Thus, Leicester must get at that City defence, be it a back three or four.

Otamendi is suspended so Guardiola will have to shuffle his pack, which is likely to see Kolarov at centre-back, Bacary Sagna at right-back, and Gael Clichy at left-back.

The Foxes have the pace and tenacity in Vardy and the trickery in Riyad Mahrez to cause them no end of problems on Saturday, and with Marc Albrighton and Slimani likely to start, they’ve got enough attacking talent to keep City guessing at the King Power.
