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

Manchester City take on Leicester City on Monday night knowing that victory could leave them on the brink of winning the Premier League title.

A defeat for Liverpool at Newcastle United on Saturday evening will give City the opportunity to retain the top-flight crown at the Etihad Stadium, but the title race will go to the final weekend if the Merseyside giants avoid defeat at St James' Park.

Pep Guardiola witnessed his side remain ahead of Liverpool with a hard-fought 1-0 triumph over Burnley at Turf Moor on Sunday afternoon.
