Midfield

Nico O’Reilly and Bernardo Silva will anchor the midfield for Man City as they look to establish their dominance over the opposition at the centre of the park.

The gifted trio of Jeremy Doku, Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo will play just ahead of them as part of Guardiola’s attack. All three of them need to be at their best if Man City are to secure a convincing win this Monday night.

Nico Gonzalez, Tijjani Reijnders and Phil Foden will be available for selection on the bench as they wait for their chance to impress in the second 45 minutes if required.

Attack

Erling Haaland will lead the line for the Mancunian giants up top. He has to figure out a way to be a real threat on the offensive end of the field.

Omar Marmoush will have to be content with a spot on the bench and might come on to make an impact in the final quarter if Man City are in need of a goal by then.
