Manchester City: There are still some injuries in the roster of Guardiola's team, as Kevin De Bruyne has missed three months of action with his hamstring problem, while Erling Haaland (foot) and Jeremy Doku (muscle) were also absent from the draw against Crystal Palace over the weekend. They are all named in the squad list, but their involvement in Tuesday's game is unlikely.
