Manchester City and Feyenoord have confirmed their starting lineups ahead of tonight’s Champions League fixture at the Etihad Stadium. Both teams will be pushing for a victory as the league phase of the Champions League begins to heat up.
Pep Guardiola’s side will be looking to end their 5 game-losing run with a victory tonight. They come into tonight’s match after a 4-nil hammering at the hands of Tottenham last Saturday. It was a rare sight to see the world champions beaten so emphatically. They need a response from that defeat and tonight’s game may be the ideal setting for them to get back on track.
On the injury front, there was good news for Manchester City ahead of tonight’s game. But that was offset by the loss of a defender for tonight’s match. Ruben Dias and Jeremy Doku both trained yesterday and should be in the Manchester City squad for tonight’s match. Kevin De Bruyne is also pain free as per Pep Guardiola’s update yesterday. That is positive news for the world champions.
However, John Stones will miss tonight’s match after failing to train yesterday. The hope is that Stones isn’t sidelined for a prolonged period after his latest setback. Rodri, Oscar Bobb and Mateo Kovacic join Stones on the sidelines for tonight’s match.
Here are the starting lineups ahead of tonight’s crucial Premier League fixture.
