Manchester City's likely line-up to face Napoli at home

Pep Guardiola's Citizens have been on incredible form this season, and battered Stoke 7-2 on Saturday.

They've won two from two in Europe too, following up a 4-0 victory over Feyenoord with a 2-0 win against Shakhtar Donetsk.

They face their toughest test yet though, with Serie A leaders Napoli - the only team in Europe with a 100% league record this season - the visitors to Eastlands.

Sergio Aguero remains a concern following his recent car crash, in which he suffered broken ribs - although the Argentine did make the bench for the win over Stoke.

Club captain Vincent Kompany and long-term absentee Benjamin Mendy are also out through injury.
