Pellegrini drops Man City captain Kompany for Leicester clash

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has dropped Vincent Kompany from his starting line-up for tonight's meeting with Leicester City.

The City captain started on the bench at the Etihad Stadium after a couple of subpar performances for the reigning Premier League champions.

Pellegrini remained with Martin Demichelis in central defence, paired with Eliaquim Mangala, for the visit of the bottom-placed Foxes.
