A win for City at the Etihad on Monday night will send Pep Guardiola’s men back to the top of the Premier League.
City need a win to control their own Premier League fate.
Liverpool currently boast a two point lead at the top of the table following their 3-2 win at Newcastle on Saturday night.
Speaking ahead of the Etihad clash, City boss Guardiola warned his side about Brendan Rodgers’ men.
“Leicester were a counter-attack team,” he said.
“With Brendan Rodgers they have another way to play. They have incredible quality.
“I saw the last three games and was really impressed.
“Brendan has shown his incredible qualities as a manager. In two months they already play the way he wants them to play.”
Leicester manager Rodgers added: “What we are trying to develop here is a style not too dissimilar to Man City.
“When you haven’t got the ball, there is a real intent and hunger to get it back, and when you have got the ball you ask as many questions as you can.
“You have to work very hard, and in those moments when you break through the pressure you have to make the most of it.
“That’s what we will hope to do.”
