In goal Ederson will take up his usual
spot between the sticks after showcasing his unique playmaking abilities last
time out against Arsenal.
Kyle Walker will reprise his role at right back. At Center back it’s safe to say Eric Garcia won’t be available for this
tie on Monday as a result of the concussion he suffered after clashing
with Ederson against Arsenal, so I expect Fernandinho to take the vacant
spot and pair Laporte. Benjamin Mendy continues at left back.
In
midfield Pep will look to make changes to maintain his rotation
principle. Rodri is expected to get the nod this time out and he will
look to replicate his outstanding performance against burnley last time
they faced each other. Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden should start in
the free 8 position and both of them will be hoping to pick up where
they let off against Arsenal.
Pep Guardiola confirmed Leroy Sane
wants to leave the club this week so I don’t exactly see him being a
favorite to start this game. Raheem Sterling finally scored for the
first time this year and he will retain his spot on the left side of
attack. Bernardo Silva will take the spot directly opposite him in place
of Riyad Mahrez. Manchester City’s all time leading goal scorer Sergio
Agüero is the man to lead the attack here and add to his impressive
record of scoring in every home appearance against burnley across all
competitions.
Well done
