Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini hasn't decided whether Mario Balotelli will make today's derby squad.
It would be the striker's first outing since December 28 when he suffered a knee injury after scoring a hat-trick against Aston Villa.
Mancini said: "I will decide if he can go on the bench. If he is not fit, maybe he will need another week.
"I have not been satisfied that has been off for four weeks but he's had a problem with his knee. Hopefully he will always be able to play the last three months of the season."
