Manchester City travel to the London Stadium on Saturday for a lunchtime kickoff against West Ham United.
Pep Guardiola's side go into the weekend still sitting in the bottom half of the table, but they will have been boosted by back-to-back wins over Arsenal and Porto respectively.
City have not won three successive games across all competitions yet this season, but come up against a West Ham side that pulled off one of the all-time great Premier League comebacks against Tottenham Hotspur last time out.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest.

Status: Out
Type of injury: Leg
Possible return date: Unknown
Fernandinho lasted just nine minutes on the pitch during Wednesday's win over Porto, coming on in the 85th minute but then limping back off in the fourth minute of stoppage time having picked up a leg injury. Guardiola was quick to confirm after the match that the could miss up to six weeks, although further scans have since suggested that it may be more like a month on the sidelines.
