This is a far bigger game these days than would have been the case a few years ago: Man City are the current Premier League champions and favorites, but Leicester regularly challenge for the Champions League places and won the title in 2016. This is a meeting of equals (or close to it).

As if to prove that, it was Leicester who came out on top in the season-opening FA Community Shield final a few weeks ago. That said, Man City have displayed their awesome spending power over the summer, with the arrival of £100m man Jack Grealish in particular catching the eye. 

And after a disappointing loss to Tottenham in their first game, they've looked back to their best in dispatching Norwich City and Arsenal 5-0 in successive weeks. Further good news came earlier with FIFA's decision not to ban players who had failed to report for international duty in South America last week; as a result Ederson and Gabriel Jesus are both eligible to play. Kevin de Bruyne and Phil Foden are both back from injury, and both are on the bench today as Pep Guardiola sticks with an unchanged team.

Leicester also have two wins and one defeat behind them, but have yet to truly fire. They were fortunate to beat Norwich 2-1, and were thumped 4-1 by West Ham, thanks in no small part to Ayoze Perez's red card.

Brendan Rodgers will be missing a few players for this game though, with Wesley Fofana, Ricardo Pereira and Nampalys Mendy all injured and Perez still suspended. Ryan Bertrand and Jannik Vestergaard both return though, as the Foxes' defensive crisis finally starts to ease.

Here's how they line up:

Leicester City: Schmeichel, Castagne, Soyuncu, Vestergaard, Bertrand, Albrighton, Ndidi, Tielemans, Barnes, Vardy, Maddison.

Manchester City: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Joao Cancelo, Bernardo Silva, Rodri, Gundogan, Gabriel Jesus, Torres, Grealish.

Will we get a repeat of the Community Shield result or will Man City reassert their supremacy? Find out by watching a Leicester City vs Manchester City live stream — and don't forget to bookmark our how to watch Premier League 21/22 hub for info on every game this season.
