City skipper Vincent Kompany, who returned to training last week from a calf injury, could make his return to the line-up and Pulis had no doubts about the depth of Pep Guardiola's squad.
"They are an exceptionally strong club in respect of depth so it's going to be a tough game, but an enjoyable one," he said.
"They have players who can play at the top level – from 1-24 they are really top-class players. If he makes a few changes, the players coming in will still be exceptional players, so we'll have to be right on it," he added.
The manager said he would field a strong team in the hope of pulling off an upset.
"It will be a tough game but we'll put out a strong team and going to have a go at it and give it the best we've got."
