Two of the more powerful athletes in Roberto Mancini's squad have been declared fit and will start the eagerly anticipated league clash against Tottenham on Sunday...

Their return from injury will be more than well received by dapper City gaffer Roberto Mancini during the enforced absences of fellow strongmen Vincent Kompany and YaYa Touré.

This is a game which we can't afford to lose. I would be happy with a draw, although a win would be better. All we have to do between now and the end of the season is to win all our home games and we should be in with a good shout of winning the title. As the likes of Spurs, Chelsea, Man. Utd have all to come to the Etihad Stadium, where so far this season wehave remained unbeat, with out dropping a point in the league.
The good news is if we do win we will put pressure on united as they have the late kick off, fingers crossed.
