Team News: Iheanacho leads City line

Kelechi Iheanacho has come in for the suspended Sergio Aguero as Manchester City travel to Leicester City this evening.

In all, manager Pep Guardiola makes four changes from the side that lost 3-1 to Chelsea last weekend, with three of them enforced after Augero and Fernandinho saw red and Nicolas Otamendi picked up a fifth yellow.

The Spaniard switches to a 4-1-4-1 formation with Inheanacho spearheading the attack with support from Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva, Jesus Navas and Ilkay Gundogan in a more advanced role.

Fernando operates at defensive midfield, with Bacary Sagna and Pablo Zabaleta returning to the back four alongside Aleksandar Kolarov and John Stones.

Raheem Sterling makes the bench having recovered from a knock picked up a fortnight ago.

As for the hosts, manager Claudio Ranieri names an unchanged side from the 2-1 defeat at Sunderland last time out as he looks to steer the Foxes away from relegation worries.

Ron-Robert Zieler continues between the sticks, despite speculation that Kasper Schmeichel would be fit enough for the fixture after a month out with a fractured hand.

Jamie Vardy and Islam Slimani continue their partnership up front, while Shinji Okazaki, who pulled a goal back at the Stadium of Light, again starts among the substitutes.

Riyad Mahrez, Daniel Amartey, Andy King and Marc Albrighton patrol the middle of the park and Danny Simpson, Robert Huth, Wes Morgan and Christian Fuchs make up the back four.

Leicester City: Zieler; Simpson, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs; Mahrez, Amartey, King, Albrighton; Slimani, Vardy
Subs: Hamer, Chilwell, James, Mendy, Gray, Musa, Okazaki

Manchester City: Bravo; Sagna, Zabaleta, Kolarov, Stones; Fernando; Gündogan, Navas, De Bruyne, Silva; Iheanacho
Subs: Caballero, Sterling, Nolito, Sané, Clichy, Touré, Adarabioyo
