Dunne to skipper City

Manchester City defender Richard Dunne is in line to captain Manchester City tomorrow against West Brom after recovering from a foot injury.

He looks set to take the armband from Sylvain Distin, who will be out for another week because of a groin injury.

Sun Jihai is also available despite being sent off in a pre-season friendly and full back Ben Thatcher could return following a groin problem.

Provisional squad: James, Mills, Dunne, Onuoha, Sommeil, Jordan, Thatcher, Sinclair, Barton, Reyna, Musampa, Cole, Vassell, De Vlieger, Sun Jihai, Wright-Phillips, Sibierski, Croft.
