City head into the game off the back of a two week break – before which City suffered an extra-time Carabao Cup exit at Arsenal, before three successive league defeats to Derby, leaders Wolves and previously bottom side Bolton respectively.

City’s 2013 FA Youth Cup-winning captain Cameron McGeehan is primed to start against his former club for the first time.
