Goalkeeper and Defence


GK – Stefan Ortega – the German should be recalled after Ederson’s poor performance against Juventus midweek.

RB – Kyle Walker – his defending this season has left a lot to be desired, and he didn’t cover himself in glory with his display in Turin. However, there is nobody to take his place.

CB – Jahmai Simpson-Pusey – Lewis’s absence means that Josko Gvardiol will be needed at left-back but, with three centre-backs on the treatment table, it could mean that the teenager is given the nod to start by Guardiola.


CB – Ruben Dias – one of the few to emerge with any credit from City’s recent slump in form.

LB – Josko Gvardiol – Lewis’s one-match ban will likely lead to the Croatian moving out to fullback once again.
