Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola could potentially be handed a double injury boost ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash with Aston Villa at Villa Park.
None of Jack Grealish, Kalvin Phillips or Nathan Ake was able to contribute to the midweek 6-0 thumping of Nottingham Forest, but Grealish and Ake could feature here, although Phillips remains out with a shoulder issue.
Teenage defender Luke Mbete could also return from a concussion this weekend, but Aymeric Laporte's knee injury will take another several weeks to heal completely.
As a result, John Stones and Ruben Dias are seemingly set to continue as the centre-back pairing in front of Ederson, but changes may be afoot with the Champions League in mind.
Sergio Gomez made his debut for the Citizens off the bench in midweek, and the 21-year-old's possible inclusion from the first whistle would allow Joao Cancelo to move to the right as Kyle Walker earns a break.
Kevin De Bruyne started on the bench in midweek but could now come back in alongside Ilkay Gundogan and Rodri in the midfield, as Bernardo Silva prepares to make way despite confirming that he will remain at the club.
Julian Alvarez's full Premier League debut saw him end the game with a brace to his name, and another start in the final third alongside Erling Braut Haaland could await the 22-year-old, while Riyad Mahrez may freshen up the front three in place of Phil Foden.
Man City possible starting lineup: Ederson; Cancelo, Dias, Stones, Gomez; De Bruyne, Rodri, Gundogan; Mahrez, Haaland, Alvarez
