Pep Guardiola has made some changes to Manchester City’s starting lineup, with Erling Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne sitting on the bench and Palmer and Alvarez starting in their place. The Manchester City lineup is as follows: Ortega; Walker, Akanji, Laporte, Gomez; Rodri, Bernardo, Palmer; Mahrez, Alvarez, Foden.
