Manchester City injury update ahead of Leicester match with two stars set to miss

Manchester City can go top of the Premier League when Leicester visit the Etihad Stadium, and Pep Guardiola has revealed who is fit to play. Leicester came from behind to beat City 2-1 at the King Power Stadium on Boxing Day, handing Guardiola’s men their second successive Premier League defeat as part of a surprise blip that changed the course of the title race. He said: “They can control all parts of the game now. Brendan has shown his incredible qualities as a manager to make his team play the way he wants to play in just two months. “I am really impressed with the way they play. Hopefully the people can come and help us and we can do what we need to do to win the game.” City manager Guardiola admits he does not know whether Kevin de Bruyne will play again this season. De Bruyne has missed City’s last two matches with a hamstring injury and will not be ready to help his teammates try to secure a 13th successive league win. Fellow midfielder Fernandinho also still has heavy strapping around his knee, although the Brazilian has been taking part in gym work. City won 17 of their 18 home matches this season and visit Brighton in their final match of the season.
