Sterling set for Man City return

Winger Raheem Sterling is likely to return for Manchester City's FA Cup quarter-final at Middlesbrough on Saturday after being rested for the midweek clash with Stoke.

Claudio Bravo would replace Willy Caballero in goal if manager Pep Guardiola sticks to his usual domestic cup rotation policy.

Captain Vincent Kompany is awaiting a recall having returned to training following a knee injury in the past week but midfielder Ilkay Gundogan (knee) and striker Gabriel Jesus (foot) are still out.

Provisional squad: Bravo, Caballero, Zabaleta, Sagna, Otamendi, Kompany, Stones, Kolarov, Adarabioyo, Clichy, Toure, Delph, Fernando, Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Navas, Sterling, Silva, Nolito, Garcia, Sane, Aguero, Iheanacho.
