Pep Guardiola makes three changes to the team that clocked up a 21st straight win against Wolverhampton Wanderers in midweek.
Oleksandr Zinchenko and John Stones return to the defence with Kyle Walker and Aymeric Laporte dropping to the bench; Zinchenko’s inclusion at left-back sees Joao Cancelo shift over to the right.
In midfielder, Bernardo Silva misses out to allow for Ilkay Gundogan spot in the starting XI. Gabriel Jesus continues in the striker’s role so there’s no false nine this afternoon in City’s 4-3-3 formation.
It’s four changes for Manchester United after the draw at Crystal Palace.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer rotates Victor Lindelof and Eric Bailly again with the former starting alongside Harry Maguire this afternoon.
In midfield, Scott McTominay replaces Nemanja Matic while Dan James gets the nod over Mason Greenwood on the right. Up front, Anthony Martial has won his battle with a knee problem and starts at the top of a 4-2-3-1 in place of the absent Edinson Cavani.
