Manchester City vs Borussia Dortmund: Predicted Lineup
Manchester City will return to action in the Champions League on Wednesday and hope to make it two out of two.
Borussia Dortmund are coming off the back of a 3-0 loss to RB Leipzig in their first game under new boss Marco Rose.
Manchester City return to Premier League action against Wolves on Wednesday, provided the games continue, but are well equipped for the visit from Dortmund, who have not been able to rest for nearly as long.
Predicted lineup:
Ederson: Of course Ederson will keep his place after another clean sheet against Sevila.
Joao Cancelo: Kyle Walker is still expected to be out with an injury, so Joao Cancelo will fill in at right-back for now.
Ruben Dias & Manuel Akanji: Manuel Akanji impressed against Sevilla, and he and Ruben Dias will start because John Stones is injured.
Sergio Gomez: Sergio Gomez is likely to keep his place, after a positive display against Sevilla.
Kalvin Phillips: Rodri should have expected some rest with Kalvin Phillips replacing him in the lineup.
Kevin De Bruyne: De Bruyne is at the top of his game and Dortmund’s midfield will struggle to contain that.

Bernardo Silva: The usual left foot that Pep Guardiola likes to have in his team.
Phil Foden: Foden will most likely start after that Sevilla goal has boosted his confidence.
Julian Alvarez: Deserves a start and has impressed every time he has played this season so far.
Erling Haaland: The chance to break records this season will satisfy the hunger in Erling Haaland.
