Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew says Daryl Janmaat will be ready for the Premier League kickoff.
The former Feyenoord fullback arrived just after the World Cup.
The Holland international full-back played almost an hour in his United debut against Championship outfit Huddersfield Town.
Pardew said: "He is a class act. He will play for us against Man City there is no doubt about that.
"He is fit and injury free. He's had 60 minutes tonight and hopefully he will get 80 on Sunday."
