The only thing stopping Erling Haaland from scoring is Pep Guardiola taking him off too early.
The Norwegian looked in the mood for another hat-trick after dispatching his seventh penalty of the season and then slotting home a dream pass from Kevin De Bruyne for his 47th goal of the campaign.
But hopes of a hat-trick were dashed when Guardiola took him of at half-time along with John Stones, who had scored City's opening goal.
City had been coasting in the first half against a sluggish Leicester but Guardiola's many changes in the second half let the Foxes back into the game and Kelechi Iheanacho's goal brought the visitors back to life.
The champions then got nervous and it was an uncomfortable finish in the end but they at least got all three points to keep the pressure on Arsenal.
