All of the latest Leicester City news today including an update on Ricardo Pereira’s fitness and the eight players named in a list of the 100 best Premier League players of all time.
There’s only one day to go until the Foxes are back in action when they take on Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday 2 April.
With Man City fans set to protest against a recent multi-year agreement with a ticket resale platform, the atmosphere could be strange for Leicester, but Ruud van Nistelrooy will be solely focused on getting three points.
There’s plenty to digest ahead of the game, however, so here is all of the latest Leicester City news.
Ricardo Pereira should be fit for Man City game
After missing the loss against Manchester United in the final game before the international break, Ricardo Pereira could return to the squad for the game on Wednesday.
Pereira made his return against Chelsea after four months out before being ruled out of the following game after suffering a small setback.

Van Nistelrooy revealed that he trained on Monday and will train again today which is a positive sign that he could be included.
Erling Haaland a doubt for Man City
Whilst Pereira looks like he’ll be back in action, Man City could well be missing one of their key players in the form of Erling Haaland.
