Fixture: Leicester City vs Manchester City
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 15:00 (UK time)

Manchester City have named their team for a key Boxing Day meeting with Leicester City at the King Power Stadium this afternoon.

The Citizens sit four points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool and will be desperate not to lose any further ground on Jurgen Klopp's side.




Leicester's last two home meetings with Manchester City, both in the EFL Cup, have seen the Foxes avoid defeat in normal and extra time, and only lose on penalties.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola picks Ederson between the sticks, and has preferred the duo of Aymeric Laporte and John Stones as the two centre-halves.

Kevin De Bruyne starts, while Sergio Aguero makes a return to the line-up instead of Gabriel Jesus, who started in Manchester City's last league game against Crystal Palace.

If Guardiola needs to make changes then he can look to his bench, where options available include David Silva and Riyad Mahrez.
