LEI vs MCI Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:
After Liverpool’s nervy 3-2 win over Newcastle United saw a change at the top of the table, Manchester City could reclaim the summit back when they host Leicester City at the Etihad Stadium.

Liverpool were drawing 2-2 when Mohamed Salah suffered a head injury. The Egypt international had to be taken off, and the Reds lost all their fluidity and momentum. At that time, the match was heading towards a draw, which meant, Manchester City had the opportunity to wrap up the title on Monday against Leicester City.

However, Divock Origi scored the 86th-minute winner off the bench which saw Liverpool leapfrogging Manchester City at the top. And for sure, the title race will go down to the wire, regardless of what happens at the Etihad Stadium.

That said, Manchester City can’t afford to lose the match. Even a draw would feel like a defeat, for it will take their Premier League destiny out of their hands. A will take Pep Guardiola’s team back to the top with a one-point advantage over Reds heading into the final week of the current Premier League season.

Leicester City meanwhile are building towards something special once again, if their results under Brendan Rodgers are anything to go by. The Foxes have had some remarkable results in a very short space of time ever since the former Liverpool manager took over the King Power Stadium.

Team News:

Manchester City:

Injured – Kevin de Bruyne is out for Manchester City.
While Benjamin Mendy and Claudio Bravo are lacking the match fitness to feature.

Suspended – None.
Doubtful – None.
Note: With Fernandinho possibly missing out on the match, Pep Guardiola could go with the same combination he used against Burnley last weekend. That said, either Leroy Sane or Riyad Mahrez will be required on one side of the wing.
İlkay Gündoğan is expected to start in the heart of the midfield.

Probable XI: Ederson (GK), Walker, Kompany, Laporte, Zinchenko, B. Silva, Gundogan, D. Silva, Sterling, Sane, Aguero

Leicester City:
Injured – No fresh injury concerns for Leicester City with Daniel Amartey remaining on the sidelines.
Suspended – None.
Doubtful – None.
Note: The 3-0 win against Arsenal was almost perfect and Brendan Rodgers has no reason to flirt with the winning combination.

That said, Rodgers could still make some changes. Hamza Choudhury was a surprise inclusion in the playing 11 and it will be interesting to see whether he keeps his place here.
Demarai Gray and Harvey Barnes will be pushing for a start here if Rodgers look to shuffles his pack against City.
Jonny Evans should be preferred at center-back even if Wes Morgan is fit and available this weekend.
