Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was tight lipped on the availability of Kevin De Bruyne, Aymeric Laporte and John Stones.

The trio are a doubt for the club's FA Cup fifth round clash with Bristol City on Tuesday.

De Bruyne did not feature last midweek against RB Leipzig in the Champions League, while he was only on the bench for their 4-1 win over Bournemouth.

Still a little illness but he is better," Guardiola told reporters, per the club website.

We are training this afternoon," he said, when asked about Laporte and Stones.

Last 12 games, no defeats. This means they are there," he finished on Bristol.

My scouts said they are a good team, a manager with experience and did well at Leicester City. It's a final, FA Cup is an important competition. A serious team will play tomorrow.

"My experience in this country, when you go away in FA Cup against a Championship team is always tough. At home it would be different but away is always tough."
