Manchester City play hosts to newly-promoted Ipswich Town as they look to follow up their win over Chelsea with another three points.
Despite the club confirming the return of İlkay Gündoğan from Barcelona, Pep Guardiola has opted not to use the German in his starting XI despite Rodri's continued absence through injury.
Instead, Mateo Kovačić retains his place in midfield, while Rico Lewis continues at right back in an unchanged side for Guardiola.
For Ipswich, Kalvin Phillips is ineligible to face his parent club so must continue to wait for his debut, but there is a full debut for attacker Sammie Szmodics and former Manchester City striker Liam Delap leads the line.
