Manchester City welcome AEK Athens to the Etihad Stadium for Tuesday's matchday three encounter, seeking to return to winning ways in the Champions League after last week's 4-2 defeat by Paris Saint-Germain.
Enzo Maresca's men had claimed eight wins from eight prior to the visit of the three-peat-chasing PSG, whose first 45 minutes in Manchester were among the most thrilling ever witnessed at the club.
The Cityzens did eke out a 3-2 win over Ipswich Town on Saturday, and they will want a strong showing to ease the pain of the chastening loss to Luis Enrique's side.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of the Man City injury and suspension news ahead of their clash with AEK Athens, who could leapfrog them in the early league phase table.
