Bony keen to get cracking

London - The champions hope the return of Yaya Toure and new boy Wilfried Bony can help them bridge the gap to the league leaders.

Manchester City will be relying on two faces - one familiar and one new - to lead a final push as they try to overhaul Chelsea at the top of the Premier League, starting this weekend.

The return of Yaya Toure from international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations is a massive boost to a City side who won just once in six games without him.
