Foden has not featured since picking up a foot injury in the January defeat at Manchester United but the boss believes he is nearing a return.
“Yes I think so,” said Guardiola when asked if Foden could be available this weekend.
“He has trained well these last two days.”
However, it was less positive news about John Stones, who the boss believes could be out for up to a month.
The England defender was substituted in the first half of last week’s FA Cup fourth round victory over Arsenal with a hamstring injury.
“Three weeks, one month, more or less,” said Guardiola in response to a question about Stones’ potential return to first-team action.
Spurs manager Antonio Conte will not be at Sunday’s clash after having gallbladder removal surgery earlier this week.
Guardiola took this opportunity to wish his counterpart well before analysing the impact he has in the technical area.
“Antonio is active on the touchline, he guides really well the team,” he said.
“There are a lot of patterns the players know exactly. He can come back in his position.”

The Blues are yet to score in four matches at Spurs’ new stadium since its opening in 2019.
Guardiola believes the reason City have struggled in North London is simple.
“They were better than us,” he said.
“I have the feeling always when we were there that we played decent games. They have the quality to punish you. They are a tough opponent.
“Maybe they haven’t won titles but they are always in the Champions League and challenging for the top four.”
