Manchester City switch from European to domestic commitments this weekend when they host Leicester City.
The Citizens were too good for Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Champions League quarter final tie as they ran out 3-0 winners thanks to goals from Rodri, Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland.
Their attention now turns to the Premier League title race with the chance to cut the gap on leaders Arsenal to three points before the Gunners play on Sunday.
Here’s the side Pep Guardiola may deploy against the Foxes.
GK: Ederson – Lagging behind the likes of David de Gea, Nick Pope, Aaron Ramsdale and even Alisson in the Golden Glove race.
RB: Kyle Walker – Had his club future thrown into doubt when Guardiola said he couldn’t play in his new system. Walker will hope for a chance to prove him wrong here.
CB: Manuel Akanji – Recently picked out compatriots Granit Xhaka, Xherdan Shaqiri and Marko Arnautovic for a Swiss Premier League XI.
CB: Ruben Dias – Was everything you’d want from a world class centre back in the victory over Bayern.
LB: Nathan Ake – Continues to offer a robust and reliable defensive presence at left back while supporting the forwards in attack.
CM: Rodri – Broke the deadlock on Wednesday night with a screamer from distance, his first City goal since a 3-1 win over Aston Villa in February. Set the platform for City to run away with the tie in the first leg.

CM: Ilkay Gundogan – The City captain has been targeted by Barcelona over the past year or so. Closing in on 300 appearances for the club.
RW: Riyad Mahrez – Not brilliant on his last start against Southampton but may get another chance on the wing if Bernardo Silva is rested.
AM: Julian Alvarez – Replaced Kevin De Bruyne late on against Bayern and could take the Belgian’s place if the knock he picked up leaves his participation in any doubt.
LW: Jack Grealish – City’s form player right now, Grealish has thrived in Guardiola’s newly-devised system, picking up two goals and two assists in total against Liverpool and Southampton before the Bayern win.
ST: Erling Haaland – 12 goals in his last five games.
