Pep Guardiola has rung the changes, making seven in total from the win at Leicester. Only Aymeric Laporte, Ilkay Gundogan, Julian Alvarez and Jack Grealish keep their places.
Rico Lewis makes his first full-start for the club. He was born in 2004. Yes, he’s still only 17. The exciting Cole Palmer also is handed a start. Both those lads joined the City academy when they were just eight years old.
It’s an attacking side picked by Guardiola with only Gundogan renowned as a genuine midfielder. Palmer, Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez, Jack Grealish and Julian Alvarez make it a front five to be feared.
Erling Haaland is not in the Manchester City squad.

Guardiola gives update on Haaland’s fitness ahead of Sevilla, Fulham matches
Guardiola has revealed that Erling Haaland could return for this weekend’s Premier League clash with Fulham.
Haaland sat out their 1-0 win at Leicester City with a foot injury and a fever.
While he will not be risked for City’s Champions League dead rubber clash against Sevilla on Wednesday, he could be back in the starting XI for the visit of the Cottagers on Saturday afternoon.
Guardiola said: “He feels better but is still not 100 per cent. For tomorrow he is not available. We don’t want to take a risk.”
Haaland has scored 17 times in 11 Premier League appearances this season with his absence last weekend sending Fantasy Premier League managers scrambling.
City have already qualified from their Champions League group as group winners – despite a 0-0 draw against Borussia Dortmund last time out where Riyad Mahrez missed a penalty.
Dortmund also progressed that night as group runners up.
