Ruben Dias could make his first start in over a month when Manchester City play Fulham.
Dias made his comeback from injury as a late substitute in Sunday’s 2-1 win against Liverpool and is in contention to come into the team in place of Abdukodir Khusanov.
Khusanov has been passed fit after being forced in with a head injury at Anfield but Dias is ready to form a partnership with new signing Marc Guehi at centre-back.
Rayan Cherki is pushing to return to the team in place of Omar Marmoush against a Fulham side who are likely to sit deeper than Liverpool.
Pep Guardiola also faces a decision over the make-up of his midfield, with Phil Foden and Tijjani Reijnders both options if he wants more forward running.
Erling Haaland will lead the line after his injury-time winner from the penalty spot against Liverpool.
John Stones is continuing to build towards a return and City have no fresh injuries as they seek a win that would see them close to within three points of Arsenal in the title race.
Jeremy Doku, Savinho, Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic remain sidelined.
On Khusanov, Guardiola said: “He’s good [and able to play].”
Guardiola said on Stones: “John is fit, I would say. Everyone is okay.”
