Manchester City are likely to shuffle their squad for the first leg of their Champions League tie with Schalke at the Veltins Arena.
Manager Pep Guardiola will be looking for a positive result away from home against the German outfit, who are currently 14th in the Bundesliga.
Schalke have struggled for goals so far in the competition, scoring just six times as they finished second in their group behind FC Porto.
However, Domenico Tedesco’s side are resolute in defence so City will have to be at their creative best if they are to return to the Etihad with a first-leg advantage.
Guardiola is expected to make several changes from the side that eased past Newport County 4-1 in the fifth round of the FA Cup last time out.
The Spaniard could recall a number of players who were rested for the trip to Wales, although the City boss will also have one eye on the Carabao Cup final next weekend.
Leroy Sane played the full 90 minutes against Newport so is at risk of missing out against his former side with the German likely to drop out in favour of Raheem Sterling.
Riyad Mahrez and Gabriel Jesus also completed the whole match last weekend so could make way, with Sergio Aguero expected to lead the line while Bernardo Silva has proved himself indispensable recently.
Fernandinho should anchor the midfield despite starting on Saturday, although Ilkay Gundogan is a more attacking option as a deep-lying playmaker.
Kevin De Bruyne will return while David Silva is expected to keep his place at the expense of Phil Foden, despite the youngster scoring twice at Newport.
Danilo should switch from right-back to the opposite side of defence if Kyle Walker comes back into the side and Aymeric Laporte will return to partner John Stones.
Benjamin Mendy, Vincent Kompany and Eliaquim Mangala have all returned to training but remain injury doubts while Claudio Bravo is a long-term absentee.
