The Citizens secured a place in the next round of the Champions League after picking up a 2-0 win over Roma in their last outing. Samir Nasri opened up the scoring with a spectacular goal, Pablo Zabaleta scored late in the game to seal the tie.
City have been in impeccable form as of late having won their last five matches in all competitions. Manager Manuel Pellegrini is hopeful his team can continue their good run and has refused to take their opponents on Saturday lightly.
"Maybe it has been a difficult start for them but I think they are a very good team," said the Chilean.
"They beat Man United and they lost against Liverpool, but in a game they played also very well.
"We are not thinking about which position they are in the table. We are thinking about if we want to win, we must play the same way we are doing in the last weeks.
"I have always said to the players that for our club it is very important to continue in the Champions
League, not just in the group stage, but that does not mean we don't care what is happening in the Premier League. The Premier League is as important as the Champions League."
City were without their three key men Sergio Aguero, Vincent Kompany and Yaya Toure for the midweek game against Roma. Sergio Aguero, the league's top scorer will remain on the sideline until new year. However Yaya Toure as well as Kompany are poised to return to the squad with the latter expected to recover from a hamstring injury.
Leicester on the other hand have not recorded a victory in 10 games and will be desperate to make an impression during Saturday's match. Nigel Pearson's men pulled off a major upset when they beat Manchester United 5-3 back in September but have since then managed to pick only two points.
They will be without goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel who has been ruled out for four to six weeks, which means that Ben Hamer is set to start in goal for the home side. However captain Wes Morgan will be available for selection as well as Paul Konchesky who had his red card during the defeat against Aston Villa rescinded. Matthew Upson (foot) and Dean Hammond (calf) could make their comebacks in the first team but Zoumana Bakayogo will remain sidelined.
