Barnes and Pérez benched as Leicester host Man City

Harvey Barnes (£6.0m) and Ayoze Pérez (£6.2m) both find themselves among the Leicester City substitutes as Manchester City come to the King Power Stadium.

Their benchings certainly come as a surprise considering their recent form and run of starts in the team.

Barnes misses out on a place in the starting XI for the first time since Gameweek 21, while Pérez has been present since Gameweek 17.

Brendan Rodgers has gone with a different shape to usual considering the stature of Leicester’s Gameweek 27 opponents.

He has gone with a back-five featuring Christian Fuchs (£4.2m), Çaglar Söyüncü (£5.0m) and Jonny Evans (£5.2m) in the middle and flanked by Ben Chilwell (£5.6m) and Ricardo Pereira (£6.3m).

James Maddison (£7.4m), Youri Tielemans (£6.2m) and Dennis Preat (£5.3m) will form a central midfield trio behind Jamie Vardy (£9.7m) and Kelechi Iheanacho (£5.7m).

Meanwhile, the key Manchester City options are all in place with Sergio Aguero (£12.0m) leading the line and Kevin De Bruyne (£10.8m) joined by Riyad Mahrez (£8.5m) in midfield.

The Algerian comes into the side for Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) while Fernandinho (£5.2m) replaces Nicolas Otamendi (£5.0m) and Ilkay Gündogan (£5.2m) takes David Silva‘s (£7.4m) place.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel; Chilwell, Fuchs, Söyüncü, Evans, R Pereira; Maddison, Tielemans, Praet; Vardy, Iheanacho.

Manchester City XI: Ederson; Mendy, Fernandinho, Laporte, Walker; Roridgo, Gündogan; B Silva, De Bruyne, Mahrez; Aguero.
