Buoyed by their midweek Champions League win over Bayern Munich, Manchester City turn their attention back to their title defence with the visit of Dean Smith’s Leicester City.

Pep Guardiola’s men earned a superb 3-0 victory over Bayern on Tuesday in the quarter-final first leg to continue a good few days after reducing the gap to Premier League leaders Arsenal to five points last weekend.

The mood at Leicester couldn’t be much more different; the Foxes appointed Smith this week to try and turn around a nine-match winless run in all competitions and lead them out of the relegation zone.

City earned a 1-0 win at the King Power in the first meeting of the season in October, with Kevin De Bruyne scoring the decisive goal.

Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League (opens in new tab) wherever you are.

VPN guide

If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won’t be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t’internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that’s a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:
