DE BRUYNE DELIVERS TITLE WARNING
LEE SWETTENHAM & ANDY HAMPSON
Fit and ready to fire

MANCHESTER City's star player Kevin De Bruyne is happy that the team is nearly at full strength as they get ready for the most important part of the season.

Erling Haaland was back on the pitch after being away for nearly two months, helping City to a 3-1 win against Burnley in the Premier League on Wednesday.

De Bruyne, who has just started his first game since August, and John Stones, who had been injured, are both playing again. With only Manu Akanji remaining on the sidelines, City are in their best position of the season to pile the pressure on the Premier League leaders and be ready for the Champions League knockout stages.
