Manchester City vs Huddersfield Town - City could welcome back defensive duo

Defenders Vincent Kompany and John Stones could both be back in contention as champions Manchester City host Huddersfield on Sunday.

Captain Kompany missed last week’s victory at West Ham with a minor knock while England centre-back Stones has been troubled in recent weeks by an adductor problem.

City will check on right-back Kyle Walker (groin) but top scorer Sergio Aguero (knee) is out.

Huddersfield midfielder Tom Ince will have a late fitness test.

Ince missed last week’s home defeat to Everton due to a hamstring injury and if he fails to make it he is expected to be ready for Wednesday’s game at Chelsea.

Boss David Wagner has no new injury concerns, but defender Michael Hefele (knee), forward Elias Kachunga and midfielder Danny Williams (both ankle) are still out.
