City's leading striker has missed their last five games with
a hamstring injury but has been back in training for more than a week.
Blues manager Manuel Pellegrini is now hopeful the Argentina
international, who has scored 26 goals this season but none since January, will
be able to have an impact at Anfield.
Pellegrini said: "Sergio is okay. He has worked the
whole week with the squad as normal. He doesn't have any problems."
Liverpool lead the Barclays
Premier League heading into the eagerly-anticipated contest with third-placed
City four points behind, but with two games in hand.
City have actually fared well in Aguero's absence, winning
four and drawing one, but Pellegrini says there is no doubt Aguero has been
missed.
The Chilean, speaking at a press conference to preview the
game, said: "He is a top player, he is a player that is very difficult for
the other defences to stop him. Of course he is very important for us.
"We always miss important players such as Sergio
Aguero, but we have had a lot of other players injured during the year and the
squad has had a good answer. We have a squad prepared to not depend on just one
player."
