It's a fascinating one. Kickoff is 7:45pm

With Leicester having slipped up against Liverpool, they appear to be there for the taking by City - especially with key striker Jamie Vardy under the weather. But City have been as flaky as anyone in the football league this season, despite being devastating at their best. This could end up 5-0 to either side, or any scoreline in between.

TEAM NEWS

Leicester's top scorer and talisman Jamie Vardy expects to be ready for the match after coming down with an illness. Vardy played against Liverpool but felt so unwell he had to be substituted. Riyad Mahrez also came off with fatigue, but should be fit for Tuesday night. Manchester City attempted to ease influential captain Vincent Kompany back into action as a second-half substitute after an eight-game absence as City cantered towards victory at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, but the Belgian lasted just nine minutes. Kompany shook his head as he left the field and headed straight down the tunnel after suffering a recurrence of the same calf problem. The 29-year-old will now be assessed but City will fear another lengthy lay-off. Striker Sergio Aguero, who is being eased back after heel trouble, could feature after being an unused substitute at the weekend. Defender Pablo Zabaleta and midfielder Fernando are back in training but not yet match-fit.

MANAGER QUOTES

Claudio Ranieri , Leicester: "You know my idea about this (the title) - we are dreaming. We are in good condition and in a good position with 38 points. Now we can continue but I want to see my players enjoy it. I don't know why we were so nervous at the beginning. Why? Play football, don't worry. If you lose, lose. That's it. We have the time."

Manuel Pellegrini , City: "[Saturday's win] was a very important victory, not only because we won the three points but also in the way we played. We returned to our normal performance - playing attractive football, scoring goals. I said after we lost against Arsenal it was very difficult to talk about positive things but I think we had more than 60 per cent of possession of the ball. That gave me a sign we were returning to our style. It was very important today to score four goals and create at least four more clear chances."
