Manchester City Team News
Pep Guardiola will miss his trusted Portuguese full-back Joao Cancelo in this fixture, as he will need to serve a one-game suspension after picking up three yellow cards. Besides that, everyone else is likely to be fit and available for this fixture, though Kyle Walker is not 100% match fit at the moment.
However, if Walker does not recover completely before the match, Guardiola will be faced with a big dilemma. A centre-back could be forced to play as a right-back with Oleksandr Zinchenko expected to play as a left-back.
