Manchester City and Juventus have confirmed their starting lineups ahead of their FIFA Club World Cup clash | OneFootball

Manchester City and Juventus have confirmed their starting lineups ahead of their FIFA Club World Cup clash in Orlando. The winner of today’s match will top Group G so there is plenty at stake for both teams. Today’s match is also the perfect opportunity for Pep Guardiola’s side to test what they’ve worked on in the United States against a high-quality opponent. So that is another interesting subplot to watch for during today’s match.

Manchester City will enter today’s match with two players unavailable for selection. Rico Lewis is suspended for today’s match. He is serving the second game of his three-game suspension he received for his red card against Wydad AC. Claudio Echeverri sustained an ankle injury against Al Ain and could potentially be sidelined for three weeks.

Here are the starting lineups ahead of today’s FIFA Club World Cup Group G fixture between Manchester City and Juventus.

Manchester City

Pep Guardiola has made seven changes to their starting lineup that beat Al Ain 6-nil. In comes Ederson, Ruben Dias, Tijjani Reijnders, Savinho, Jeremy Doku, Omar Marmoush and Rodri. The biggest surprise is that Rodri is in the Manchester City starting lineup. It will be fascinating to see how he fares in his first start since rupturing his ACL against Arsenal at the Etihad last September.
