Manchester City will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they travel to Sheffield United on Saturday afternoon.
The Citizens were held to a 1-1 draw by West Ham United in the league last weekend, with the result leaving them in 13th position in the table after an inconsistent start.
Pep Guardiola's side will enter the clash with the Blades off the back of a strong performance, though, beating Marseille 3-0 in their second Champions League group match on Tuesday night.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Sheffield United, who are currently 19th in the table after a poor start to the campaign.
