Manchester City (MCI) vs Leicester City (LEI) Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling have played important roles in Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side and are good captaincy choices going into this fixture.
Jamie Vardy has tormented Manchester City's defence in the past and is a must-have going into this game. James Maddison can also be a handful on his day and will be pivotal to Leicester City's counter-attacks.
Riyad Mahrez has stepped up for Manchester City in pre-season and is set to start this game. The Cityzens rely heavily on their full-backs and the likes of Cancelo and Walker could have a massive impact on proceedings.
