Adebayor missed last night's Europa League encounter in Salzburg after picking up a dead leg and Mancini must hope the former Arsenal man has recovered to let him freshen up his side.
Roque Santa Cruz is also available but Jerome Boateng is not thought to be in contention. James Milner and Adam Johnson could earn recalls after City look to improve on a run of one point from two games.
City (from): Hart, Given, Taylor, Zabaleta, Richards, K Toure, Kompany, Boyata, Bridge, Cunningham, De Jong, Vieira, Wright-Phillips, Y Toure, Silva, Barry, Milner, Johnson, Tevez, Jo, Adebayor, Santa Cruz.
