Aguero scored his second Champions League hat-trick of the campaign in the midweek cruise over Borussia Monchengladbach.

Since replacing Manuel Pellegrini, Guardiola has won each of his seven games in charge of the North-West club and ahead of his side’s trip to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon, Howe has acknowledged that his players can not afford to under-perform.

He said: “In the box we know how good he is, but I am especially happy about how he helps us”.

Dahoud is a 20-year-old midfielder who is considered to be a massive talent, while Hazard, the brother of Chelsea star Eden Hazard, has impressed since he joined Gladbach from Chelsea, initially on loan and then permanently.

Guardiola has told his players to forget about their ideal start to the campaign after winning their first seven games of the season and opening up a two-point lead at the top of the Premier League.

“Defensively we need to adjust small details”.

Pep Guardiola has said that David Silva and Vincent Kompany will remain out for City.

The Catalan, who consulted a number of different managers and players about life in the Premier League before arriving this summer, is still getting to grips with the number of games in English football.

“I am not the right person to know if it’s definitely going to happen”. If Bournemouth want to get a result from the game they’ll have to strike early before City can settle, the partnership of Nicolas Otamendi and John Stones has been proven to be a very reliable pairing. The day after you are anxious about what’s going to happen (next).

“I don’t think he’ll be able to play tomorrow”, said the City manager. We don’t look for the big impact.

Gundogan said: “It has been a ideal start for us, with great performances over the last few weeks and some very special games”.

“I am used to being injured and five months was nothing for me – with my back I was injured for more than a year”, he said.

“We had for the weather conditions one day more, for our regeneration after the Manchester United game, and now we have one day less for our regeneration, but it is what it is”. “They run a lot for 90 minutes, and all the strikers as much as the midfield players or defenders”.
