City go into the game at the Etihad Stadium seven points behind Liverpool after losing three times in four league matches towards the end of 2018 – with their title defence possibly unravelling completely if they are beaten again.
But Pep Guardiola had a boost to his plans on Wednesday when Belgian playmaker De Bruyne trained with the squad. De Bruyne missed Sunday’s win over Southampton with a muscle problem.
“Kevin de Bruyne trained today,” said Guardiola.
“He is much better, but we will check again tomorrow.”
De Bruyne has been restricted to just one Premier League start this season due to his extensive injury problems.
