BREAKING: Man City SHOCK Line-up Revealed vs Slovan Bratislava! You WON’T believe Pep’s BIG decision on Foden and Walker!
Phil Foden is set to make his return to Manchester City’s starting XI for their upcoming Champions League game against Slovan Bratislava.
Following a 1-1 draw with Newcastle United in the Premier League, where Josko Gvardiol’s goal was canceled out by Anthony Gordon’s penalty, City aim to bounce back in Europe. This result continues a pattern of three draws in four matches, with their lone victory coming against Watford in the Carabao Cup.
City’s Champions League campaign started with a draw against Inter Milan in the expanded group stage, and they will be seeking their first win of the competition against Bratislava. With a packed fixture list, Pep Guardiola is likely to make changes to the lineup.
John Stones is expected to replace Ruben Dias in defense, while Foden will likely start in a central attacking role. Jack Grealish and Savinho are also set to start on the wings.
Erling Haaland will lead the attack, while Mateo Kovacic and Bernardo Silva are predicted to anchor the midfield in Rodri’s absence. Gvardiol and Manuel Akanji will round out the defense alongside goalkeeper Ederson.
Expected Manchester City lineup vs. Slovan Bratislava:
Ederson; Lewis, Stones, Akanji, Gvardiol; Kovacic, Bernardo, Foden; Grealish, Savinho, Haaland.
