Man City injury update: Ederson, John Stones and Oscar Bobb latest news and return dates Manchester City put an end to their run of five games without a victory to end 2024 on a relative high.
The Foxes ran City close throughout but that will matter little to Guardiola, who desperately needed to put an end to the winless run.
They were not totally convincing but will no doubt hope three points and welcoming some key players back from injury can put an end to their crisis.
Goalkeeper Ederson may have some work to do to oust Stefan Ortega from his starting berth these days anyway but has missed the last three games with an unspecified issue.
A frustrating season on the fitness front continued for John Stones during the loss to Aston Villa earlier this month, with the England international coming off at half-time.
