The return of several key players in the starting lineup has provided a big lift with Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie, James Maddison and Brennan Johnson all back in the team.

Dominic Solanke has been out of action since the north London derby loss to Arsenal due to a knee injury and is unlikely to be back on the field for Wednesday's match against the reigning champions. A more realistic date for his return would be next week's Europa League clash with AZ Alkmaar.

While the injury list has significantly decreased, Spurs could still be without Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero midweek.

Van de Ven had a 45-minute run-out against Elfsborg last month, but hasn't played since. Postecoglou has stressed the club needs to tread carefully with the 23-year-old, indicating he's about two to three weeks away from returning, according to his comments after the win over United.

Romero's had just 15 minutes of football action since November, and a hamstring issue has been keeping him out of the game.

Speaking last week, Postecoglou said the Argentine was in a "good place" after having a further scan, which gave him hope of being available to play against Alkmaar next week.

City are keeping their fingers crossed about Erling Haaland's fitness.

The Norwegian international had to be taken off due to a knee injury in their 4-0 win over Newcastle United, but was left on the bench for their Champions League loss to Real Madrid, even though the team badly needed a goal scorer that night.

Pep Guardiola unsure if he'll be ready for the trip to the nation's capital.

John Stones has been forced back onto the injury list after being substituted early in the match against Madrid. Manuel Akanji is undergoing surgery on his thigh and will be out until April.
