The England international joined City in a £9million deal from Chelsea last month.
He said: “The day I came here to sign was when I realised I could be making my first start again in front of the home fans against Chelsea.
“I am looking forward to it, as all the players are. It doesn’t mean a lot to me that it’s Chelsea, it’s more about playing my first home game after coming back to City.
“I started as a Blue here, became a Chelsea blue and am back now as a Blue.
“The smile is never going to go and hopefully the goals will keep coming just as they started here.”
