City will be looking to carry on the momentum picked up in their dominant 3-0 win against the Hampshire side at the weekend, with Pellegrini’s men scoring twice after going down to ten men.
Kompany will be a huge loss for the Premier League champions, although with Sergio Aguero in such fine form it’s highly possible that they will be able to outscore their opponents.
