Can't wait!!!
A few stats from the Beeb:
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Manchester City are vying for a fourth consecutive win against Leicester in the Premier League.
Leicester have won just two of the past 16 meetings in all competitions, most recently at home in December 2016 when Jamie Vardy scored a hat-trick.
Leicester
The Foxes earned a first league win in four attempts at the expense of Chelsea on Saturday.
Claude Puel's side have registered just four wins in 15 league games at the King Power Stadium since the beginning of February (D6, L5).
Leicester have lost all four of their Premier League Boxing Day fixtures since promotion in 2014. Their only Boxing Day Premier League win in 12 attempts came at Sheffield Wednesday 20 years ago.
Jamie Vardy has scored 13 goals in his past 15 league appearances against the established top six sides.
James Maddison has created 41 goalscoring chances in the Premier League this season, more than any other English player.
Manchester City
It's two defeats in three league games for City, as many as they had lost in their previous 61 top-flight matches.
Manchester City could lose back-to-back Premier League away games for the first time since January 2017.
The team in second place on Christmas Day has not gone on to be Premier League champions since Manchester United in 2007-08.
They have won four successive Boxing Day fixtures, and eight of their last 10. Their only defeat in that run came against Sunderland in 2012.
Pep Guardiola's side have only kept one clean sheet in their past eight Premier League matches.
Sergio Aguero scored four goals in City's most recent league game against Leicester, a 5-1 home victory in February. He is two short of 250 career league goals.
In the words of my Old Man, "Life will never be the same without Man City, so get it in while you can".

Also, just read that Dave Silva's back. May not start but it'll be great to see him back in contention.

Just hoping Vardy's not starting, always seems to score against us.

3 big games in just over a week. If Pep is planning anything different for the Liverpool game, i think we might see them try implement it today. 3 points essential

Not sure. Dave may play as he reportedly came off the bus.
Oh yeah, so did Danilo.

Good team that. Walker was due a rest.
Hopefully Gray doesn't tear Danny a new one with him being fairly rusty.
