Manchester City return to action on Saturday afternoon as they bid to strengthen their position at the top of the Premier League table against Burnley.
Having won just four of their last seven league fixtures, City's advantage over Liverpool has been reduced to one point, leaving Pep Guardiola's team at risk of dropping into second position on Saturday.
Nevertheless, while Liverpool play Watford in the early kickoff, Guardiola and his squad will be focused on trying to dent Burnley's survival bid.
Here, Sports Mole takes a look at City's injury and suspension news ahead of the showdown at Turf Moor.

After sustaining a hamstring injury at the beginning of March, it was feared that Ruben Dias would be absent for up to six weeks. However, such has been the Portuguese's progress that he could come back into contention next week, providing that Guardiola is prepared to take a risk on his fitness.
