Sports Mole rounds up Manchester City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of Sunday's FA Cup third-round tie with Chelsea.

Manchester City will endeavour to claim their second win over Chelsea in the space of a few days when the two sides meet at the Etihad for Sunday's FA Cup third-round showdown.

The Premier League champions boosted their bid for a third successive title by beating the determined Blues 1-0 at Stamford Bridge on Thursday courtesy of a Riyad Mahrez winner.

Man City now set out on their quest to win a seventh FA Cup title, having reached the semi-finals on three consecutive occasions since last going all the way in the 2018-19 campaign.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Chelsea, who fell to Liverpool in the final on penalties last season.
