Manchester City come to this round motivated after a 1-3 away win over Oxford, in a match to count for the English League Cup: João Cancelo and Sterling scored the goals of the triumph. The Manchester club usually play in a 4-3-3, where the three men responsible for launching panic on the opposing defense are Sterling, Gabriel Jesus and Foden. Thus, playing at home, it is foreseeable that Manchester City will adopt a very offensive posture, aiming to continue the good moment they are going through. For this match the coach should not be able to count on Stones, Aguero, Laporte and Sané for being injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Ederson Moraes, Nicolás Otamendi, Kyle Walker, Benjamin Mendy, Kevin De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Bernardo Silva, İlkay Gündoğan, Riyad Mahrez, Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus.

Coach Brendan Rodgers should not be able to count on Matty James for being in the medical department.
