The Cityzens kicked off their campaign with a 3-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday with midfielder Kevin de Bruyne playing a starring role. 
 
"It was a good performance. We know how difficult it is. Sometimes the opening is good and sometimes we need more time to get our best conditions - but the start was good," head coach Pep Guardiola said in the aftermath.

"The period that we are in and the situation that we had in these past two weeks, I expected that in some moments we would suffer, but in general we controlled the game."
 
Leicester head into this weekend's round of fixtures atop the Premier League standings. The Foxes started their campaign with a 3-0 thumping of West Bromwich Albion before following that result with a 4-2 win over Burnley last weekend.
