Manchester City’s European ban is overshadowing their football but they returned to the pitch after Uefa’s action and dominated West Ham. Pep Guardiola will be looking for City to be even better as they gear up to face Real Madrid in the Champions League. Leicester’s lack of defensive midfielders could invite another mauling – three are either injured or suspended for Brendan Rodgers. A second appearance in Europe’s elite competition beckons for Leicester and a shock win would take them ever closer. Graham Searles
