The 27-year-old Argentine has been forced to sit out the champions' last three games with a hamstring problem.
"I feel good, I've been training with the team and should be fine to play," The Sun quotes the full-back as saying.
Zabaleta has made nine appearances in all competitions for City so far this season.
