Attackers - Riyad Mahrez, Julian Alvarez, Ilkay Gundogan, Phil Foden - Erling Haaland

City's depth and spectacular invoice of squad well being means Mahrez, Foden and Alvarez might all come into the aspect, with Jack Grealish, Kevin de Bruyne and Bernardo Silva handed an opportunity to relaxation up on the bench.

As for Haaland, the Norwegian is prone to begin after Guardiola dropped a touch in answering a query about his health ranges, with the 22-year-old gunning to set new benchmarks within the goalscoring charts.

On Haaland, he added: “He has a really intense game in Madrid, he could not have done that if tired. I would say yeah he is fit, he recovers well. It’s fine.”

Man City potential beginning lineup (3-2-4-1): Ederson; Walker, Akanji, Laporte; Lewis, Rodri; Mahrez, Alvarez, Gundogan, Foden; Haaland.
