Pep Guardiola will hope some key players are refreshed after getting a rest against Plymouth in the FA Cup last weekend.

Ederson returns in goal in place of Stefan Ortega, Abdukodir Khusanov is back in defence, while Nico Gonzalez comes back into midfield.

City’s injury problems have deepened after Nathan Ake joined John Stones and Manuel Akanji on the sidelines.

Jack Grealish is back on the bench following his rare start in the Plymouth win.
