"Gazza has been training for the last two days with the team and on his own since the beginning of the week," Villas-Boas told reporters at the club's training ground on Friday.
Asked if Bale would start the game against second-placed City, Villas-Boas said: "This is a decision I have to make."
Bale has been in outstanding form for club and country and was nominated for the PFA Player and Young Player of the Year Awards by the Professional Footballers' Association on Friday.
"All of them are in with a chance of making selection," added the Spurs manager. Bale has made good progress from the beginning of the week to training with the team so definitely will be up for selection."
