Manchester City will welcome back striker Emmanuel Adebayor and defender Kolo Toure for Saturday's home encounter with Burnley.

Adebayor and Toure missed Sunday's goalless draw at Birmingham with ankle and heel injuries respectively, but have trained well this week.

However, left-back Wayne Bridge (knee) and striker Roque Santa Cruz (ankle) are unlikely to be risked by manager Mark Hughes.

Burnley boss Owen Coyle could name an unchanged trip for the short trip to Eastlands after last weekend's home victory over Hull City.

Full-back Stephen Jordan is expected to face his former club after he overcame a thigh injury suffered in the win over the Tigers at Turf Moor.

But Martin Paterson and Chris McCann (both knee) and Jay Rodriguez (ankle) are all on the sidelines as the Clarets search for a first away point.
