Latest Man City vs Leicester City squad information

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland celebrates scoring a goal on February 11, 2025.

The ticket to the FA Cup semi-finals comes with a big worry for Man City, when main striker Erling Haaland suffered a knee injury and was forced off the field in the second half of the match against Bournemouth.

He was spotted leaving the pitch in a brace and crutches, so Omar Marmoush is likely to replace him in the starting line-up on Wednesday.

After a game-changing performance, young talent O'Reilly is on the verge of making his first Premier League start, while Matheus Nunes could have to make way.

Man City's midfield continues to lack mainstay Rodri, who is expected to return for this summer's Club World Cup.

Leicester also suffered a loss in strength when winger Abdul Fatawu had to sit out the rest of the season with a serious knee injury.

They are awaiting positive news from full-back Ricardo Pereira, who missed the recent defeat to Man United.

Odsonne Edouard – on loan from Crystal Palace – was left out of the starting line-up by Van Nistelrooy, while centre-back Harry Souttar is also out with an ankle injury.

Latest Man City vs Leicester City football review

Despite struggling on all fronts in the 2024-25 season, Manchester City have maintained their consistency in the FA Cup. The reigning English champions booked their place in the FA Cup semi-finals for the seventh consecutive time with a win over Bournemouth on Sunday afternoon.

The Citizens struggled to start against Bournemouth's high-pressing style and went behind at half-time. However, the introduction of young talent Nico O'Reilly in the second half turned things around. The 20-year-old set up both goals for Erling Haaland and Omar Marmoush.

Thanks to the brilliant performance of the "homegrown product", Pep Guardiola's team will have a confrontation with Nottingham Forest at Wembley at the end of April. Before that, the reigning Premier League champions will have to overcome four important matches in the domestic league to continue to nurture the hope of qualifying for the Champions League next season.

FA Cup wins over Plymouth Argyle and Bournemouth were sandwiched by two disappointing Premier League results in March, as City lost 1-0 at Nottingham Forest and were then held to a disappointing draw by Brighton & Hove Albion at the Etihad.

While the Etihad has been regarded as Europe’s most formidable fortress in recent years, it is no longer impregnable this season. Man City are currently sixth in the Premier League home record table, having picked up just one point from their last two home games in the competition.

Leicester City – who were promoted after winning the Championship under Enzo Maresca last season – were expected to make a difference to the usual newcomers, but they are now bottom of the table alongside fellow newly promoted sides Ipswich Town and Southampton.

The Foxes have lost their last six Premier League games without scoring a single goal, conceding 16 times – an alarming run of results that has raised concerns about the widening gap between the top 17 teams and the rest of the league.

Ruud van Nistelrooy's side lost their seventh Premier League game in a row at the King Power Stadium before the international break, with goals from Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes helping Manchester United to a comfortable win.

Away from their home haunts in the East Midlands, Leicester travel to the Etihad on Wednesday as the team with the worst away defence in the league – having conceded 35 goals in 14 away games.

Despite facing a huge test in Manchester, Leicester can draw some confidence from their surprise win at the end of January, when second-half goals from Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannouss helped them beat Tottenham Hotspur in London.
