Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Kevin De Bruyne is likely to play against Tottenham tonight.

The Citizens are facing a must-win game against the London club if they aspire to win the Premier League.

The defending champions are slipping behind Arsenal in the title race, having lost to Manchester United at the weekend.

Asked about De Bruyne during his pre-match press conference, Guardiola said: “They [defenders Ruben Dias and John Stones] are back and have trained in the last two sessions. They're in contention.

“We are going to train this afternoon and see who is going to play," the Man City boss added.

On De Bruyne, he stated: “He had a personal issue and didn't train but he's back now."
