Mendy has been a key player for City so far this season but has missed their past two games with a bruised metatarsal, though it remains to be seen just how long he will be out for.

As well as doubts around Mendy, City will certainly be without Kevin De Bruyne (knee) and Claudio Bravo (Achilles).

Danilo is back in training following an ankle injury and will be in contention for a return to the match day squad in the coming games.

Neither side have any suspensions.

City have played something like their usual 2017-18 4-3-3 formation in the past two games, although there are likely to be changes following the midweek defeat against Lyon.

Fabian Delph’s place at left-back could come under threat following a poor performance, although that would most likely require moving Aymeric Laporte to left-back, despite the Frenchman’s fine form at centre-back.

There have also been calls to rotate Fernandinho in and out of the side following a patchy showing against Lyon but he is likely to start at the back of midfield.

Pep Guardiola says Bernardo Silva’s “natural position” is out wide but the Portugal international has looked impressive through the middle this season, and has been more influential than Ilkay Gundogan in that role.

Leroy Sane made his first start last weekend and was impressive off the bench in midweek and could be in line for a start. Sergio Aguero is likely to come in for Gabriel Jesus, who looks out of form.

Harry Arter was withdrawn during defeat at Chelsea last weekend due to “dizziness and vomiting” and will have to be checked ahead of Saturday’s game.

Aron Gunnarsson (knee) and Josh Murphy are in contention having returned to training ahead of the Chelsea game.
