Leicester City’s return to Premier League action has handed them one of the most difficult tasks imaginable as they face Manchester City.
Defeat for Leicester could see them match an unwanted 38-year record by losing seven games in a row without scoring.
It will be a weird atmosphere inside the Etihad Stadium though, with Man City fans set to protest against a recent multi-year agreement with ticket resale platform Viagogo.
Ruud van Nistelrooy and co can’t let that distract them though and know that only a win will do.
What time does Man City vs Leicester kick off?
Kick off will be at 7:45PM BST on Wednesday 2 April at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester.

Leicester City team news
Whilst Man City sweat on the fitness of Erling Haaland, it’s far less stressful in terms of personnel available Leicester boss Van Nistelrooy.
Ricardo Pereira should be fit to play after missing the defeat to Manchester United before the international break.
Van Nistelrooy may decide to move away from his 5-3-2 formation which has yielded two losses from two games and go back to something more similar to what they have been playing for the majority of the season.
Stephy Mavididi and Facundo Buonanotte will believe that they have every right to be in the starting XI as the Foxes know only three points will do.
