Pep Guardiola has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to selecting his Manchester City lineup for Saturday's trip to Leicester City.

With the Premier League title looking like a done deal already, Guardiola will surely have one eye on Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg against Borussia Dortmund.

Given the strength of the squad at his disposal, Guardiola has not been afraid to change things up and balance his side for domestic and European commitments this season.

With no injury concerns or suspensions to worry about, the Catalan coach should rotate this weekend and play a slightly stronger XI against Dortmund - though the lineup that faces Leicester will still boast world-class talent.

Ilkay Gundogan may be afforded a breather to ensure he is fresh to face his former club in Europe, while the likes of Raheem Sterling and Joao Cancelo could also be on the bench - though much depends on how the players arrived back from international duty.

Sergio Aguero's time at the club is drawing to a close with the City legend set to leave when his contract expires this summer, and he will be itching to play every minute possible before his departure.

Man City predicted lineup: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Laporte, Zinchenko; Silva, Rodri, De Bruyne; Foden, Aguero, Torres

Injury list/suspensions: None
