Kevin De Bruyne made his return after a five-month injury layoff in a 5-0 thrashing of Huddersfield in the FA Cup last weekend.

Erling Haaland is also nearing a return from a foot injury that has kept him absent for City’s last eight games. “Kevin, Haaland, Phil [Foden], these guys win games—that’s why they’re so important for us,” said Guardiola as his squad rounds into shape.
