CITY'S TEAM NEWS
The visitors will definitely be without top scorer Erling Haaland, with the Norway international expected to be sidelined for between five and seven weeks after injuring an ankle in last weekend's Emirates FA Cup quarter-final win at Bournemouth.
Omar Marmoush, a big-money arrival from Eintracht Frankfurt in January, replaced Haaland at the Vitality Stadium and scored the winner in a 2-1 victory. The Egypt attacker followed it up with the second goal in the 2-0 midweek home success against relegation-haunted Leicester City, after Jack Grealish struck early on.
The Blues did not appear to pick up any fresh issues on a largely comfortable night at the Etihad Stadium and welcomed Oscar Bobb back after almost eight months out.
Guardiola was able to leave Abdukodir Khusanov, Mateo Kovacic, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden out of his XI, with one eye on Sunday's clash.
However, Manuel Akanji, Nathan Ake, John Stones and Rodri look certain to remain unavailable for the 16:00 BST kick-off.
