Defence

Alphonse Areola is expected to operate in between the sticks for the East London club. Craig Dawson and Kurt Zouma would form the centre-half partnership as they try to get a clean sheet against Man City. Nayef Aguerd remains sidelined after injuring his ankle in the pre-season and Issa Diop also finds himself benched after taking a knock.

Vladimir Coufal and Aaron Cresswell would feature in the right and left-back positions, trying to get forward and create opportunities up front.

Midfield

Declan Rice will partner with Tomas Soucek to slot into the holding midfield positions as they look to distribute the ball efficiently and create enough chances for the men up front. Flynn Downes might come off the bench in the latter stages to impact the game if required.

Pablo Fornals and Jarrod Bowen will take up the left and right-midfield positions to provide support from the wide areas.

Attack

Michail Antonio and Gianluca Scamacca might form the two-man strike team as the latter looks to make a successful debut while both of them take up the task of finding the back of the net against the Mancunian giants.
