Jack Grealish and Manuel Akanji are major doubts for the Citizens after sustaining injuries in midweek. The duo could join long-term absentee Rodri on the sidelines. However, Oscar Bobb and Nico Gonzalez are in contention to feature.

Guardiola will decide whether to select new signing Gonzalez in central midfield or continue with John Stones in the role. The centre-back was pushed forward during the clash with Real Madrid in midweek.

Jeremy Doku returned to the bench against Real Madrid and will compete with Omar Marmoush, Savinho and Phil Foden for a start.
