Manchester City vs Leicester City Fantasy Football Team & Tips

Riyad Mahrez was one of the standout players for Manchester City last weekend. The Algerian is expected to start on the right wing due to his impressive performances off late.

Joao Cancelo can do nothing wrong at the moment. The Portuguese kept a clean sheet against Magpies, scored and assisted one goal each in a 4-0 win. He is a sure shot captaincy pick.

Differential Pick

Gabriel Jesus assisted one goal against Newcastle United. He will start once again on Sunday, and could add a few goals to his tally against a depleted Leicester defence.

GK: Ederson
DEF: R. Dias, J. Cancelo, O. Zinchenko
MID:  R. Mahrez, Y. Tielemans,  H. Barnes, J. Maddison
FOR: R. Sterling, G. Jesus, J. Vardy
