Unlikely to see E175s at LCY as they are not one of the authorised types there, and the granting of this type approval seems to take a year or more. The E170 and E190 (which BA has) both now have approval of course, but the (more different than you may initially think) E175 and E195, the two FlyBe types, do not, and I don't believe Embraer has developed a steep approach kit for these other two variants.
