Burnley
The hosts' Ashley Barnes missed the loss to Chelsea with a knock and will be assessed ahead of this midweek clash, as will fellow striker Chris Wood.
Charlie Taylor and Josh Brownhill are also considered doubtful with thigh and ankle injuries respectively.
Burnley keeper Nick Pope may be in for a busy day, though that is nothing unusual for the England international - only Sam Johnstone at West Bromwich Albion has made more Premier League saves this season (85 compared to 80).
Burnley possible starting lineup:
Pope; Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Pieters; Brady, Westwood, Cork, McNeil; Wood, Barnes
Burnley Premier League form: WLLWWL
Burnley form (all competitions): LLWWWL
Manchester City
Kevin De Bruyne remains on the sidelines for City - not that his absence has been felt all that much - and Nathan Ake is another injury absentee.
Striker Sergio Aguero has recovered from coronavirus and could play some part on Wednesday, though he is likely to be slowly brought back up to speed.
Riyad Mahrez impressed with a goal and an assist against West Bromwich Albion last week and will be hopeful of returning to the side here.
The Algerian winger has scored more Premier League goals against Burnley (eight) than he has against any other side, a run that includes seven in his last four outings.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Walker, Stones, Dias, Cancelo; Silva, Rodrigo, Gundogan; Mahrez, Jesus, Sterling
