The immediate area looks like it is all deteriorating. No patch is
going to stay on if the material it is attached to is falling apart.
Andthat looks like the case here.

I'd clean it up and patch concrete with concrete.

Your damage looks like this.

You want it to look like this to prevent the patch falling out.

I think you will find that the "patch" in this case would end up
being larger than the remainder of the stairs...

Jackhammer out the remains of the stoop and start again...
