TEAM NEWS
Manuel Akanji is handed a City debut while Sergio Gomez is afforded a first start as Pep Guardiola makes three changes for Tuesday’s Champions League group opener away at Sevilla.
Swiss international Akanji, who joined us last week from Borussia Dortmund, will partner Ruben Dias in the heart of defence with fellow summer signing Gomez set to be deployed at left back.
Jack Grealish also comes into the starting line up from the side that drew 1-1 at Aston Villa on Saturday.
Ilkay Gundogan reverts to the bench.
John Stones and Kyle Walker also miss out through muscular injuries with the England defensive duo not being part of City’s travelling squad which flew out to Spain on Tuesday.

Pep Guardiola preview
“They won’t be concerned with just defending. We have to be prepared because they will be aggressive.
“This competition is played with a lot of enthusiasm. More so in a stadium like this one. We have to be prepared for that. We have to crank up the pace.
“There is a great emotional component here, much more than just tactics.”

“They have a great manager - he works really well - and Sevilla have great players, it’s true a few players have left but they are always a competitive team, especially at home.
“They will be attacking all the time -they have players to do that and they will. This is the first match of group stage and it’s important to start well.
“In my position they have Fernando, who played for City and is a great player, but generally speaking they have great players across the pitch. We tend not to focus on individual players. Sevilla are a complete squad.”
PREVIOUS MEETING
We secured a place in the Champions League last 16 in 2015 by beating Sevilla with a blistering attacking display.
Raheem Sterling struck from a tight angle after eight minutes - and former City skipper Fernandinho’s header doubled City’s lead just 170 seconds later.
Sevilla hit back through Benoit Tremoulinas’ free header, but Wilfried Bony swept in for a 3-1 half-time lead.
City cruised through the second half to progress into the knockout stages with two games to spare in the group stage.
