Mancini to make big changes for cup replay

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini is preparing to make big changes for tomorrow night’s FA Cup third round replay with Leicester.

As new signing Edin Dzeko is ineligible due to his transfer being completed after the deadline to play in the first tie at the Walker’s Stadium, Brazilian forward Jo comes into the reckoning.

However, Shay Given, Joleon Lescott, James Milner, Patrick Vieira and David Silva are also set to start as City try to book a fourth-round trip to Notts County at the expense of former boss Sven-Goran Eriksson.

Team (from): Hart, Given, Zabaleta, Boateng, K Toure, Kompany, Boyata, Kolarov, Lescott, Wright-Phillips, Johnson, De Jong, Vieira, Milner, Y Toure, Silva, Barry, Tevez, Adebayor, Jo.
