Ortega picked over Ederson in goal
GK – Stefan Ortega – Ederson missed City’s last game with an abdominal injury, but he has been passed fit ahead of Sunday. However, we predict that Guardiola will go with Ortega instead.
LB – Josko Gvardiol – Gvardiol is one of Guardiola’s first names on the City team sheet, he will be vital in trying to stop in-form winger Antoine Semenyo.
CB – Ruben Dias – Dias keeps his place at centre-back, hoping to quell the threat of a high-scoring, high-energy Bournemouth side.
CB – Abdokodir Khusanov – January signing Khusanov keeps his place in the starting XI for the game against Bournemouth as he continues to settle in at the Etihad.
RB – Rico Lewis – Lewis will be desperate to prove a point after he was overlooked for selection by Thomas Tuchel for the England squad.
