Boyata to replace injured Zabaleta against Cottagers [Kieran McManus]
Possible alternatives include central defender Dedryck Boyata, midfielder James Milner or left-backs Gael Clichy and Aleksandar Kolarov.
The forward line is also weakened by the absence of top scorer Sergio Aguero (calf) and Stevan Jovetic (illness), while defender Matija Nastasic (calf) is also still out.
