Leeds United
Leeds will be without Jack Harrison, who is ineligible to face his parent club, while Pablo Hernandez, Adam Forshaw and Kiko Casilla are still injured.
Harrison could be replaced on the wing by Ezgjan Alioski, who incidentally was the last Leeds player to score in four consecutive league games - a record Bamford is looking to equal this weekend.
Mark Viduka, in April 2004, was the last player to achieve that feat for Leeds in the Premier League, while Bamford is already the first player since Mick Jones in 1968-69 to score in each of the club's first three matches of a top-flight campaign.
The striker's form has so far kept Rodrigo Moreno out of the starting lineup, and that is expected to be the case again this weekend.
There could be a debut for Rodrigo's compatriot Diego Llorente, though, with captain Liam Cooper the most likely to make way for the summer arrival.
Leeds United possible starting lineup:
Meslier; Ayling, Koch, Llorente, Dallas; Phillips; Costa, Klich, Roberts, Alioski; Bamford
Leeds United Premier League form: LWW
Leeds United form (all competitions): LLWW
Manchester City
Ruben Dias is eligible to make his debut this weekend, and Guardiola could throw him straight into the starting lineup after watching three of his back four give away clumsy penalties last weekend.
John Stones remains doubtful after missing the last three games while Oleksandr Zinchenko has suffered a fresh injury just when he was on the cusp of returning.
However, Guardiola did hand Aymeric Laporte his first appearance of the campaign against Burnley in midweek, while Bernardo Silva also returned ahead of schedule to ease Man City's injury woes.
Man City are still without a recognised senior striker with Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero sidelined through injury, which means that Raheem Sterling could play as a false nine again having scored twice in that role at Turf Moor.
Ilkay Gundogan has now completed his 10-day isolation period following a positive coronavirus test but he is unlikely to feature until after the international break, while Joao Cancelo is also absent.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Walker, Dias, Laporte, Mendy; Fernandinho, Rodri; Mahrez, De Bruyne, Foden; Sterling
Manchester City Premier League form: WL
Manchester City form (all competitions): WWLW
Prediction: Leeds United 2-3 Manchester City
