Latest Team News: Manchester City

Man City have far more worries than the Bluebirds, although their squad depth means they will still field a very strong side in South Wales.

Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne on crutches during an open training session last month
Striker Sergio Aguero is expected to featured after coming on as a substitute in the second half of his side's 2-1 Champions League defeat to Lyon on Wednesday having suffered an ankle problem against Fulham four days earlier.

But the reigning champions are sweating on the fitness of Benjamin Mendy who has not featured since before the international break.

The French left-back missed Man City's games with Fulham and Lyon due to a knee problem and could well miss the trip to the Welsh capital.

Belgium star Kevin De Bruyne - who scored against the Bluebirds in the FA Cup in January - will be the major absentee for the visitors after he was ruled out of action for around three months as a result of the knee injury he suffered in training last month.


And back-up goalkeeper Claudio Bravo is also a long-term absentee, meaning Kosovan youngster Aro Muric is set to feature on the bench once again as a No.2 to first choice shot stopper Ederson.

Elsewhere, Brazilian full-back Danilo is unlikely to be risked having not played since suffering a foot injury at the World Cup in Russia while youngster Philippe Sandler and centre-back Equalim Mangala are unavailable.

Worth a 16-1 stab on Cardiff

Just put £5 on at 20/1 with Ladbrokes.
Worth a punt at that price.
Bookies rarely wrong, but you never know!
I have seen an improvement every game.
Just need to be that bit more clinical in front of goal and close down the opposition more
