Goalkeeper and Defence
GK – Djordje Petrovic – had very little to do against Everton on Monday but he will certainly be busier versus City.
RB – Malo Gusto – if he goes up against Jeremy Doku, the Frenchman’s defensive qualities will be tested, but he will be keen to make some forays forward himself.
CB – Trevoh Chalobah – Axel Disasi is back in training but the Englishman should keep his place based on his recent performances.
CB – Thiago Silva – Levi Colwill is not expected to be available and Benoit Badiashile’s form has been poor so Silva is set to stay in the starting eleven.
LB – Marc Cucurella – vice-captain Ben Chilwell is in contention but manager Mauricio Pochettino could keep faith with the Spaniard.
