As Manchester City prepare to face Leicester City on Saturday, we have tried to call their predicted lineup.

Coming off the back of their 3-0 thrashing of Bayern Munich, we expect Pep Guardiola to make three changes from the side that started against the Bundesliga champions.

At right-back, Kyle Walker, described as an ‘unbelievable defender’ by Kalvin Phillips could come in for Manuel Akanji in our Manchester City predicted lineup against Leicester.

John Stones is likely to retain his place as he was taken off against Bayern after yet another brilliant showing, with Rio Ferdinand branding his form as ‘phenomenal’ on BT Sport.

The same goes for Ruben Dias, who had a case for being the best player on the pitch at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night.

At left-back, Nathan Ake, who was exceptional against Bayern is set to retain his place in our Manchester City predicted lineup against Leicester.

In defensive midfield, Rodri is expected to keep his place in the side after his splendid strike outside the box.

In front of him, Ilkay Gundogan could be displaced by Bernardo Silva in midfield after his cracking showing against Thomas Tuchel’s men.

Alongside the German could be Kevin De Bruyne, who has been in blistering form for the past couple of weeks.

At right wing, Riyad Mahrez could come into the Manchester City side against Leicester after being benched against Bayern.

Up front, Erling Haaland set a record for being the highest goalscorer across all competitions by a Premier League player in a single season with 45 goals by netting against the German giants.

Keeping that in mind, Haaland seems a guaranteed starter once again.

At left wing, Jack Grealish is also likely to start once again after yet another tremendous showing.
