City have now lost five games in a row across all competitions for the first time since 2006, culminating with a humbling 4-0 home loss to Tottenham at the weekend.

They also shipped four in their previous Champions League outing, as Sporting Lisbon thumped them in Portugal, and City will need to refocus to avoid another damaging defeat in this new league phase.

Asked if he will change his approach for the visit of the Dutch side, Guardiola told reporters: "What should I change? If I had changed in my first season when I was asked to change, we would not have won six Premier Leagues in seven years.

Injured players have to come back to their best form, players need rest, one good result can change our mind

"Now I'm not going to change. We are big believers in the process and the fundamentals we have to do. Injured players have to come back to their best form, players who have played a lot of minutes because of the injuries need rest, one good result can change our mind."

There has been little improvement on the injury front for City, though Kevin De Bruyne came off the bench against Spurs and should start in midweek. Jeremy Doku could also come in after returning to training on Monday alongside Ruben Dias, which may see Savinho make way.

Nathan Ake is also pushing for a start, with John Stones most likely to make way, and Matheus Nunes could come in for Rico Lewis, who has struggled in midfield. City remain without the likes of Mateo Kovacic, Oscar Bobb and Rodri.

Doubts: Doku, Dias

Injured: Rodri, Bobb, Kovacic
