It’s a big game for…

John Stones: As Vincent Kompany remains out with injury, the pressure is on for Stones to control the back four. This is a task that has somewhat troubled the 22-year-old, but much will still be expected of him on Saturday.

Remember when…

Mahrez will be hoping to recapture his fine form of last season, as he is yet to find his feet this campaign. This goal shows his attacking prowess and confidence in possession, which would cause City problems.

Player to watch…

Jamie Vardy: Who else but Vardy? Yet another Leicester player who has failed to reach the heights of last season, he has only bagged three goals so far this campaign. However, the combination of Vardy and Mahrez could cause an upset, if they are playing to their full ability.
