Pep Guardiola received a big boost on the injury front with the confirmation that Rodri and Ruben Dias are expected to be fit for Manchester City’s meeting with Tottenham this evening.

Record goalscorer Sergio Aguero is also nearing a return after a trouble-hit first half of the season.

Defender Dias, who has made a big impact since his club record signing from Benfica last summer, missed the midweek FA Cup win at Swansea through illness.

Rodri appears to have overcome a knock sustained late in the game at the Liberty Stadium but captain Fernandinho remains on the sidelines with a thigh problem.

Aguero has made just three starts this season due a combination of knee trouble, a hamstring injury and a spell in self-isolation with Covid-19.

The Argentinian is now back in training and theoretically available but, with Guardiola having previously intimated it could be a couple of weeks before he regains full fitness levels, that seems unlikely.

Pep Guardiola said: "Sergio is in training, he made his second training session with us.

"I think except Fernandinho, Nathan (Ake) and Kevin (De Bruyne), the rest of the first-team squad are available."

Playmaker De Bruyne is expected to be out until the end of the month with a hamstring injury.

Man City predicted lineup: (4-3-3) Ederson; Cancelo, Stones, Dias, Zinchenko; Bernardo Silva, Rodri, Gundogan; Mahrez, Foden, Sterling

Doubts: Ruben Dias, Rodri, Sergio Aguero

Injury list: Fernandinho, Nathan Ake, Kevin De Bruyne
