LONDON (Reuters) - Manchester City are in danger of facing the busy Christmas and New Year Premier League programme without their top strikers and captain as manager Manuel Pellegrini counted the cost of Saturday's win at Leicester City.

Edin Dzeko, back-up to City's injured striking totem Sergio Aguero, suffered a calf problem in the warm-up before the 1-0 win while skipper Vincent Kompany limped off late in the game with a recurrence of his niggling hamstring injury.
