"Manager Pep Guardiola was without star midfielder Rodri and defender Abdukodir Khusanov for the 3-0 win over Brentford at the weekend. However, both could be declared fit in time for their crucial midweek clash with the Eagles at The Etihad."
"Rodri returned to training before Saturday's fixture, having missed the previous four matches in all competitions, but was still not fit enough to take to the pitch. He will be assessed once again before Wednesday night, but Man City are hopeful he can play an important role in their title challenge, with just three games remaining this season."

"Further boosts for Guardiola could come in the form of returns for Ruben Dias, who has been missing from action since the Champions League fixture with Real Madrid on March 17, and Josko Gvardiol, who hasn't featured since January. Prior to the Brentford match, Guardiola suggested both could make appearances before the end of the season."
