Pep Guardiola seemed to have come through the 2-2 draw against West Ham with no fresh injury concerns.
However, the Man City boss stated prior to the match that he doesn’t expect Ruben Dias, John Stones or Kyle Walker to feature again this season.
Elsewhere, Steven Gerrard will more than likely have to cope without Kortney Hause and Leon Bailey for Villa’s final fixture.
And Ezri Konsa will be undergoing an MRI scan following a tussle with Crystal Palace’ Jean Philippe-Mateta so he is also set to miss out.
On the other hand, Ollie Watkins returned from his ankle issue to feature against the Eagles, alongside Jacob Ramsey who was struggling with fitness problems.
