Manchester City could be without star striker Erling Haaland when they visit the King Power Stadium in the opening game of Saturday’s Premier League TV schedule.
The summer arrival has taken the English top flight by storm – scoring 17 goals in his first 11 games – but was forced off at the break against Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday evening due to a foot injury and a fever.
It remains to be seen whether Haaland will be fit for Saturday’s game against Leicester City but his absence would be a massive boost for the Foxes.
They still face the task of hosting the 2021/22 Premier League champions, a trophy Man City won without the striker of course, but such has been the inevitability with which he’s scored goals this term that his absence does tip the scales back in the home side’s favour a little.
Leicester will already be in high spirits after their 4-0 hammering of Wolves last weekend – a performance that Brendan Rodgers described as “excellent” and a result that lifted them out of the bottom three.
All eyes will be on how Pep Guardiola’s team manage without their new talisman, if he’s out.

Our prediction: Leicester v Man City
Haaland’s potential absence is the big talking point ahead of this one but it would be no surprise to see Man City quieten the doubters.
Leicester’s two recent wins have been impressive but both Leeds and Wolves have been in torrid form of late so Saturday will be a reminder of how tough it is to play the Premier League’s top sides.
There will be plenty of noise about the Norwegian striker’s absence if he is out and the Man City players will be keen to remind everyone how good they are without him.
Our prediction: Leicester 1-3 Man City (10/1 at bet365)
