MCI vs LEI Dream11 Match Prediction

MCI vs LEI Dream11: With Liverpool out of action in the Premier League this weekend due to their FIFA Club World Cup assignments, both Manchester City and Leicester City know they can put some psychological pressure back on Jurgen Klopp’s Reds who are flying high this season with a win at the Etihad Stadium. So who will come out on top in this top of the table clash?

Form and recent results:

Manchester City:

It’s not that the reigning champions have been blown away by teams or they have been poor to warrant a 14-point gap. Not entirely. Injuries, bad decisions and poor finishing all have contributed in City’s less-than-convincing defence of their title.
As things stand, City are 3rd on the point table, four points behind Leicester City.
pep Guardiola’s team beat Arsenal 3-0 in the last game.

Leicester City:

There’s no denying that Brendan Rodgers is a talented manager, but Leicester City’s swift rise under his tutelage has come as a surprise still. For some, Foxes evoke the same feeling from their incredible and unthinkable 2015-16 season when they ripped the Mickey out of every prediction yo win the Premier League.
But back then, Liverpool were not the force they are now, and Manuel Pellegrini was nearing his end as the Manchester City boss. That’s why the sense says that the Foxes will ultimately fade away from the race and City are the real thing which can be the obstacle for the Reds.
That said, Leicester City scripted a nine-game winning run in the league and are on a 10-game unbeaten run, so if they can do it once, they can do it again.
Also, the biggest testament of their credentials is the next two games, as after facing City, the Foxes are set to host Liverpool on Boxing day.

Manchester City vs Leicester City team news:

Manchester City team news: Centre-back Aymeric Laporte and winger Leroy Sane remain on the sideline for the defending champions. David Silva is expected to miss the game due to a bruised leg.

But Pep Guardiola has received big boost ahead of the huge tilt against Leicester City as Sergio Aguero could feature for the fist in a month after recovering from a thigh injury, while centre-back John Stones is in contention as well.

Manchester City key players:
Sergio Aguero: 09 Goals.
Raheem Sterling: 09 Goals.
Kevin de Bruyne: 06 Goals.

Manchester City likely changes from the last game:

It depends on the availability of certain players. If Aguero is deemed 100% fit, he will surely be in the playing 11, with Gabriel Jesus moving down to the bench.

The same can be said about John Stones. The England international could replace Nicolas Otamendi at the back, starting the game alongside Fernandinho. Riyad Mahrez may keep Bernardo Silva out of the Manchester City playing 11 here.

Leicester City team news:

No fresh injury concerns for Brendan Rodgers and Leicester City ahead of this match, with Matty James the only player on their injury list.

Leicester City key players:
Jamie Vardy: 16 Goals.
James Maddison: 05 Goals.
Ayoze Perez: 04 Goals.

Expect Leicester City to go with the same playing 11 which was held to a 1-1 draw by Norwich City last weekend.

Manchester City vs Leicester City predicted playing 11:

Manchester City: Ederson (GK), Kyle Walker, Nicolas Otamendi / John Stones, Fernandinho, Benjamin Mendy, Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan, Rodri, Bernardo Silva / Riyad Mahrez, Sergio Aguero / Gabriel Jesus, Raheem Sterling
Leicester City: Kasper Schmeichel (GK), Ricardo Pereira, Soyuncu, Jonny Evans, Ben Chilwell, Ayoze Perez, Youri Tielemans, Wilfried Ndidi, James Maddison, Harrison Barnes, Jamie Vardy

MCI vs LEI Dream11 teams:

Please note: Either Mahrez or Bernardo Silva will start, so change accordingly. We have gone with Mahrez here.
Also, team 2: Drop Vardy for Aguero, if he starts, and Ricardo for Evans.
