Manchester City will be hoping to make it eight Premier League victores in a row on Saturday at West Brom, but Pep Guardiola will likely make changes to his starting XI.

Guardiola opted to make nine changes to his side for the midweek Carabao cup tie with Wolves at the Etihad.

Only Sergio Aguero and Bernardo Silva retained their place from their victory over Burnley.

Among the players expected to come back into the line-up on Saturday are goalkeeper Ederson, centre-back Nicolas Otamendia and David Silva.

Club captain Vincent Kompany is expected to be back training with the first team within the next week, in a boost to the Citizens.

Benjamin Mendy remains a long-term absentee, after he suffered a knee injury earlier in the season.

City are heavy favourites heading into Saturday’s match, according to bitcoin iPhone bookmakers. They also suggest that the Manchester club are certs for the title, too.

Provisional squad: Ederson, Bravo, Walker, Danilo, Stones, Otamendi, Mangala, Danilo, Delph, Toure, Gundogan, Fernandinho, D Silva, B Silva, Sane, Sterling, De Bruyne, Aguero, Jesus.
