Manchester City have a couple of defensive doubts ahead of their Premier League derby meeting with Manchester United.
Pep Guardiola’s side welcome their cross-city rivals to the Etihad Stadium.
Both Ruben Dias and Nathan Ake were forced off during the midweek FA Cup win over Peterborough.
Opponents Manchester United had Scott McTominay return to training on Wednesday and will hope from an improved performance having been held by Watford last time out.
Team news
Ruben Dias is a doubt for Manchester City, with the club awaiting the results of tests on a leg injury that forced the Portuguese defender off during the 2-0 cup win against Peterborough. Nathan Ake was also withdrawn at half-time of that fifth round tie at London Road with what was described as a knock. Oleksandr Zinchenko started in that game and was given the captain’s armband by Fernandinho and could again feature despite the Russian invasion of his native Ukraine.
Edinson Cavani (groin) and an ill Scott McTominay missed Manchester United’s 0-0 draw with Watford, but the Scottish midfielder trained with his teammates on Wednesday.
