Manchester City take on Leicester City hoping to return to winning ways after being held to a draw against Burnley.

Citizens manager Pep Guardiola has been handed an injury boost as he will welcome back John Stones who has missed the last two games with a knee injury and illness.

Guardiola was also expected David Silva back but he remains out with the abdominal injury that caused him to miss last week’s draw at Burnley.

Ilkay Gundogan will be available for the Foxes game.

The midfielder of Turkish origin replaced Silva when he came off during the West Brom clash with injury and started against Burnley last weekend.

With Silva out Gundogan is likely to start once again in midfield.

Gundogan has two goals and six assists in 30 appearances for City this season.

City will however, be without Phil Foden (ankle), winger Leroy Sane (ankle), striker Gabriel Jesus and left-backs Benjamin Mendy and Fabian Delph (all knee).

The Manchester based outfit enter the game as favourites but have lost four of their six Premier League home matches against Leicester.

Man City squad: Ederson, Bravo, Walker, Stones, Otamendi, Laporte, Kompany, Danilo, Zinchencko, Toure, Gundogan, Fernandinho, Foden, Diaz, Sterling, De Bruyne, B Silva, Aguero.
