The boss says Nathan Ake could feature against West Ham United after recovering from a muscle injury.
The Dutch defender has returned to full training after missing the last three games with a thigh injury.
Kevin De Bruyne looks less likely to line-up against the Hammers having not trained with the squad ahead of Tuesday’s late afternoon session.
“Nathan trained yesterday and feels good," said Guardiola in Tuesday's pre-match press conference.
“Kevin’s started to move but didn’t train with the team - we have training in a few hours, and we’ll see how they feel.”
It’s been a while since City and West Ham last went head-to-head, with the previous meeting being the opening game of the 2022/23 Premier League campaign.
Erling Haaland scored our first goal of the season from the penalty spot shortly before half-time.
The summer signing doubled City’s advantage on his Premier League debut after a sublime through ball by Kevin De Bruyne allowed him to slot the ball into the back of the net with his first touch.
City went top of the Premier League table for the first time in two months after our 2-1 win over Fulham on Sunday afternoon.
Erling Haaland registered his 50th goal of the season in all competitions after we were awarded a penalty two minutes into the game.
Carlos Vinicius, however, levelled the score in the 15th minute with a fine effort against the run of play.
A stunning goal by World Cup winner Julian Alvarez in the 36th minute was the defining factor between the two sides. The Argentinian curled the ball into the top left corner from just outside the box that left the travelling fans mesmerised.
Meanwhile, David Moyes' West Ham have struggled with form as of late, suffering a 4-3 loss to Crystal Palace and 2-1 loss to Liverpool in the past week.
