Man City XI vs Real Madrid: Confirmed team news, predicted lineup and injury latest for Champions League Pep Guardiola is set to recall Erling Haaland to the Manchester City starting lineup for the Champions League clash against Real Madrid.
Josko Gvardiol, Phil Foden and Kevin De Bruyne are all pushing for starts, whilst Guardiola could shift Manuel Akanji to right-back for more defensive solidity as Real Madrid tend to favour attacking down their left.
Predicted Man City XI: Ederson; Akanji, Stones, Dias, Gvardiol; Nico, Kovacic; Bernardo, De Bruyne, Foden; Haaland.
Whilst Haaland is poised to spearhead Man City’s attack at the Etihad Stadium, it remains to be seen if January signing Nico Gonzalez will be available for selection.
However, Vitor Reis is ineligible after being left out of City’s updated Champions League squad that does include fellow January signings Abdukodir Khusanov and Omar Marmoush.
