Manchester City arrive at the Gtech on Monday night, having seemingly already started their traditional second-half-of-the season winning surge.
The Premier League champions have won their last eight games in all competitions and have their major stars returning from injury.
After three consecutive substitute appearances, Kevin de Bruyne made his first start against Burnley on Wednesday.
And Erling Haaland returned as a substitute in that match – leading to speculation he may make his first start since early December against us.
Haaland will have a point to prove as we are the only Premier League he has – as yet – failed to score against, although he has only faced us once.
They go into the weekend second in the Premier League table – five points behind Liverpool and ahead of Arsenal on goal difference. They have only lost three league games this season – all away – 2-1 at Wolves and 1-0 at Arsenal in consecutive matches and then 1-0 at Aston Villa.
City did the treble last season by winning the Champions League for the first time, the Premier League for the seventh time but ninth top-flight title overall, and the FA Cup for the seventh time.
WHO’S IN CHARGE 
Pep Guardiola is the second longest-serving manager in the Premier League, behind Jurgen Klopp, and fourth longest-serving in all four divisions, after taking over as Manchester City boss on 1 July 2016.
