Raheem Sterling, Manchester City: Sterling came off the bench in City's last match against Bournemouth, so he is widely expected to feature Tuesday. The England international has been one of the league's best players of late, scoring six goals in seven appearances (five starts) since the restart.
Kevin De Bruyne, Manchester City: De Bruyne has been one of the most versatile play-makers in the Premier League this season, logging double-digit goals (11) and assists (18). The Belgium international has also created 120 chances and taken 93 shots, so he is a good bet to produce even when he doesn't crack the score-sheet.
