Manchester City have a lengthy list of absentees ahead of Sunday’s Premier League visit of Leicester.
Sergio Aguero, Bernardo Silva, Joao Cancelo and Oleksandr Zinchenko are all injured and Nicolas Otamendi may also miss out due to a niggle.
Ilkay Gundogan is self-isolating after contracting coronavirus and Aymeric Laporte is doubtful having only returned to training last week following his positive Covid-19 test. A number of Academy players may make the squad.
Northern Ireland defender Jonny Evans should return after recovering from a thigh problem and having completed his three-match suspension for being sent off against Manchester United at the end of last season.
Winger Cengiz Under is waiting for international clearance to be completed on a season-long loan from Roma. Demarai Gray has a stomach bug and full-back Ricardo Pereira continues his recovery from an ACL injury.
Manchester City provisional squad: Ederson, Steffen, Walker, Stones, Ake, Garcia, Harwood-Bellis, Mendy, Rodri, Fernandinho, Doyle, Foden, De Bruyne, Sterling, Mahrez, Torres, Jesus, Delap, Nmecha, Palmer.
Leicester provisional squad: Schmeichel, Justin, Soyuncu, Evans, Castagne, Tielemans, Barnes, Choudhury, Mendy, Praet, Vardy, Perez, Ward, Morgan, Fuchs, Maddison, Albrighton, Dewsbury-Hall, Iheanacho.

Pep Guardiola’s men have a good recent record over their upcoming opponents having won three straight head to head meetings. This is one of the reasons why City come into this game as the 2/7 favourites with PaddyPower.
Leicester, on the other hand, are currently priced at 9/1 with Betfair and they will be looking to defy the odds as they eye a third straight Premier League win.
Wins over West Brom and Burnley have seen the Foxes score a total of seven goals while conceding just two however, they have also faced a 2-0 loss to Arsenal in the Carabao Cup.
Leicester don’t have a spectacular record against the Citizens having only managed one win in nine previous meetings but, games between the two clubs are more often than not very close contests.
With that in mind, the recommendation is to back a Manchester City victory but not by a massive margin.
The correct score market offers a number of interesting opportunities however, our best bet sees a 2-1 victory for City at the current price of 13/2 with both Betfair and PaddyPower.
