Blues manager Mark Hughes was delighted with Robinho's 'excellent' contribution to Thursday night's 2-2 UEFA Cup draw in Copenhagen, and Liverpool striker Kuyt has identified the gifted No.10 as City's danger man on Sunday.
Dutchman Kuyt, signed for £9million from Feyenoord by Rafa Benitez, knows how tough it can be to switch from mainland Europe to the demands of English football, and has nothing but admiration for the South American import.
He said: "He's a fantastic player and he's done really well. It's not easy coming from the Spanish League because it's more physical here.
"I thought it would be tough for him, but he's shown he can do really well here. He's scored a lot of goals, and I'm sure as City get stronger as a team that he'll become even better."
Top-scorer Robby hasn't hit the net for nearly two months - his strike in the 2-2 draw at Blackburn was his 11th goal in the League and 12th of the campaign - but he impressed hard taskmaster Hughes with his performance in Denmark.
Hughes, who had a heart-to-heart with his club record signing earlier this week, said: "I thought Robinho was excellent. Straight from the off he showed his intent and he was a catalyst for a lot of the good things that we did.
