Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany (groin) could return for the Premier League trip to Sunderland on St Stephen's Day after being kept on the bench as a precaution last weekend.
Striker Mario Balotelli (illness) could also come back into contention while left-backs Aleksandar Kolarov and Gael Clichy will hope to overcome niggles.
