Benjamin Mendy has been named in the City squad for the first time in seven months.

The former Monaco left-back hasn’t featured since he damaged his anterior cruciate ligament against Crystal Palace and has been sidelined ever since.

Pep Guardiola makes two changes from the side that beat Spurs 3-1 at Wembley last weekend with Danilo and Bernardo Silva starting and Kyle Walker and Leroy Sane on the bench.

Starting XI:

Ederson, Danilo, Kompany, Laporte, Delph, Gundogan, De Bruyne, D Silva, Bernardo, Sterling, G Jesus

Subs: Bravo, Foden, Walker, Sane, Yaya Toure, Mendy, Otamendi

 

RETURN: Bernardo Silva
RETURN: Bernardo Silva

 

 

 

Tactics

On paper, expect City to play 4-3-3 (or thereabouts) with Bernardo Silva possibly slotting on the left in place of Sane. Danilo will play right-back in place of Walker.
