Manchester City
Unlike their counterparts in blue, City should once again only be working without two players for the third-round match in Aymeric Laporte and Ruben Dias, who are nursing back and hamstring injuries respectively.
Laporte could even push to return from his problem in time for this game but is unlikely to be risked from the off, while World Cup hero Julian Alvarez should also be considered for some minutes here.
Super subs Mahrez and Grealish could also benefit from some much-needed rotation, as might Kalvin Phillips, although Guardiola may opt to save the bulk of his changes for the imminent EFL Cup showdown with Southampton.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ortega; Lewis, Stones, Akanji, Cancelo; Gundogan, Phillips, De Bruyne; Mahrez, Alvarez, Grealish
Chelsea
In contrast, Chelsea have no fewer than 10 players sidelined at the time of writing, with Sterling and Pulisic both coming off early in the defeat to Man City with a hamstring injury and knock - which Mount also sustained prior to the game - respectively.
None of the trio should feature here, as Potter also remains without Reece James, Armando Broja, N'Golo Kante and Edouard Mendy, and it remains to be seen if Wesley Fofana, Ben Chilwell and Ruben Loftus-Cheek can make their comebacks in this one.
Up-and-coming starlets such as Carney Chukwuemeka, Omari Hutchinson and Lewis Hall should no doubt take advantage of their stricken teammates' woes here, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will hope for another chance after being brought on for Sterling before subsequently being taken off again on Thursday.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Kepa; Azpilicueta, Chalobah, Koulibaly, Cucurella; Jorginho, Zakaria, Chukwuemeka; Ziyech, Havertz, Aubameyang
Prediction: Manchester City 2-0 Chelsea
