Manchester City vs Leicester City Match Preview
Premier League front runners Manchester City will face Leicester City in an FA Cup Third Round replay at the City of Manchester Stadium. Leicester performed impressively in the first meeting to earn a 2-2 tie, and will need to be at the top of their game here is they are to progress in the competition.
Sven Goran Eriksson has no fresh injury concerns ahead of facing his former club, and will include new loan signing Yakubu Ayegbini in the attack. Yakubu scored on his Foxes debut in the weekend’s 1-1 draw with struggling Preston North End.
Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini will likely rotate his lineup, but is lucky enough to have international stars in reserve. England star James Milner, World Cup winner David Silva and Patrick Vieira are all players who could be called upon, and did not start in the weekend’s 4-3 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
