Manchester City will be looking to claim their sixth successive win in all competitions when they travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea in the Premier League on Sunday.
The Citizens followed up their thumping 6-1 top-flight win over Bournemouth last weekend with a comfortable 3-0 home victory against Young Boys on Tuesday to secure their spot in the last 16 of the Champions League with two Group G games to spare.
Pep Guardiola's side also sit at the summit of the Premier League table, but they could slip down to second before entering Sunday's match if second-placed Tottenham Hotspur – who lost 4-1 at home to Chelsea on Monday – return to winning ways against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday lunchtime.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Mauricio Pochettino's side.
