Line-ups – Leicester
Foxes striker Jamie Vardy (£9.1m) starts the match. His 2% of the games base managers will be hoping for a repeat of his previous match. He picked up 10 points for his goal, assist and two bonus. Defender Timothy Castagne (£4.6m) starts. The Belgian has banked five returns on the bounce, but will his owners be starting him today?
Man City
