Man City host Fulham on Saturday in what will be the first match between the sides since March 2014.
Pep Guardiola has revealed Benjamin Mendy missed Manchester City's win over Fulham due to a knee injury. One particular passage of play, with a delectable piece of chest control, some impromptu juggling and a defence-splitting pass to release Raheem Sterling, who then hit the bar, was worthy of the Belgian.
The Citizens have made an unbeaten start to the Premier League season following four victories and one stalemate.
Both players had very different struggles despite City's success last season.
Vera Cohen, 102, and younger sister Olga Halon, 98, who have been season ticket holders at the club since 1930, walked out with the players at The Etihad stadium as they saw their side beat Fulham 3-0.
Man City had other numerous chances to score, but could not convert the opportunities as the two Silvas David and Bernardo continued to pull the strings, for Etihad dwellers.
Should he be passed fit, Delph will likely start at left-back, although Oleksandr Zinchenko, who also trained today, is another option and either Aymeric Laporte or Kyle Walker could also fill in.

Marcus Rashford, Romelu Lukaku and Anthony Martial will look to cause the attacking threat. I said what I had to say last week in Geneva, at a UEFA meeting that we had.
"I've always said that I'd like to play for Las Palmas - my local team".
"If they miss the goals or assists, I don't care".
David Silva made it 2-0 when his powerful shot crashed in off the underside of the crossbar after midfielder Bernardo Silva saved the ball near the byline.
After joining from Monaco last season, Bernardo Silva initially appeared to struggle at City, generally having to settle for cameos off the bench.
The Citizens' next fixture is at home to Lyon this Wednesday in the Champions League. "They will do a lot of surprises in the Premier League so that's why I give a lot of credit to what we have done". "It depends how I feel physically and mentally", Silva said in an interview for the Premier League Show.
"Sometimes there are players - and all the managers know - that you give five minutes and they say; "now I have to play five minutes", like you have to tell them to play - he is not that case".
"There's a lot of nice strikers and midfield players and the season will be judged on 11 months, not just on three weeks or one month".
