Manchester City by Plymouth – Lineups, Stats and Preview

MANCHESTER CITY Group news by Plymouth

Guardiola is likely to make changes and rotate his team. Erling Haaland returned from the injury to score the winner against Tottenham in the middle week, but it would be a surprise to see him start again, while Jack Grealish, Kevin de Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan and James Mcatee will hope to play after being on the bench in London.

John Stones, Manuel Akanji and Rodri remain injured and Oscar Bobb is not expected to present yet, but Claudio Echeverri could present for the first time since participating in the club.

Plymouth could be without Ryan Hardie, who scored the winner against Liverpool, while Muhamed Tijani is out with an injury.

If Hardie is blocked then on-Lan Burnley forward Michael Obafemi seems to start.
