Trio return to boost Manchester City ahead of Capital One Cup final

City will come up against Liverpool on neutral turf just three months on from a shock 4-1 home loss to Klopp's side in the league.

Manuel Pellegrini expects Wilfried Bony, Jesus Navas and Eliaquim Mangala to be a part of Manchester City's Capital One Cup final squad after the trio trained on Friday ahead of Sunday's clash with Liverpool.

Striker Bony and central defender Mangala, who was an unused substitute in the Champions League on Wednesday, have not featured since early January due to respective calf and hamstring injuries, while Navas has missed the previous four games with a hamstring strain of his own.
