Manchester City will attempt to win the FIFA Club World Cup for the first time in their history when they lock horns with Fluminense in the final in Jeddah on Friday evening.
Pep Guardiola's side secured their spot in the showpiece event courtesy of a 3-0 victory over Urawa Red Diamonds in the semi-finals on Tuesday.
The Citizens are potentially just 90 minutes away from becoming the fourth English team to win the Club World Cup, but they will have to cope without the presence of a few key players against a Fluminense side who beat Al Ahly 2-0 in their last-four tie on Monday.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Fernando Diniz's side.
