Manchester City will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome a struggling West Bromwich Albion to the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night.
Pep Guardiola's side shared the points with Manchester United in an uneventful Manchester derby on Saturday, and the result has left the title hopefuls down in ninth position in the table.
City will be aiming to record just their sixth league victory of the season against a Baggies side that are currently 19th in the division, having picked up just six points from 12 matches.

Guardiola had already confirmed last week that Sergio Aguero would not start the Manchester derby following his recent injury problems, but the Argentine missed out entirely, having been struck down with gastroenteritis on Friday. As a result, the striker remains a major doubt for the clash with West Brom.
