Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Leicester City

Sports Mole rounds up all of Manchester City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the Premier League fixture with Leicester City on Boxing Day.

Manchester City will hope to strengthen their position at the top of the Premier League standings when they face Leicester City on Boxing Day.

Pep Guardiola's side have won their last eight matches in the top flight, their latest success coming by a 4-0 scoreline at Newcastle United.

As one of a minority of teams who are currently not dealing with coronavirus issues, Guardiola will hope that stays the same over the coming days.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Man City's injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with the Foxes.
