comPublicado a las: 22/02/202320:19CET Manchester City have arrived! We've got just under an hour to go before kick-off! Make sure to tell us your prediction on Twitter, @English_AS. comPublicado a las: 22/02/202320:12CET Ian KIngton / AFPManchester City starting XI analysis:It looks as though we've got a back 4 from Pep tonight, despite his recent experiments with a back 3 + Bernardo Silva. Gundogan and Bernardo partner Rodri in the middle in a system that looks, on paper at least, quite recognisable and - dare I say it - normal. I think perhaps the loss of De Bruyne has forced Guardiola into reverting to a more typical 4-3-3.
It all started with a hat-trick on his Champions League debut, the equivalent of love at first sight for this creature. The goal-loving hasn't stopped since then. comPublicado a las: 22/02/202319:06CET Ed Sykes / Action Images via ReutersWho to watch tonight? Let’s be honest, here, it’s Erling Haaland. I want to see the monster boy. Marco Rose was very honest in his pre-match comments on Haaland:"If he sees the goal he is crazy about scoring. He is always there for the team, working for the team. "He has improved his game a lot, his technical side, his movement and things around. Now he is playing for one of the best teams in the world and he is a world-classplayer. "But I have great confidence in my team.

It looks like Aké is at left-back in a 4-3-3, with Rodri as the deepest midfielder. comPublicado a las: 22/02/202321:02CET as. comPublicado a las: 22/02/202321:01CET And Man City kick us off!

We've got half an hour before the teams are announced, so if it's wrong, take it up with Kieran, not me! as.
Mahrez and Grealish are the duo on either side of Monster Boy, so that's City clearly looking to attack directly with dribbling instead of drifting into the middle line, which is something Foden might have done. However, having said all that, Ederson might be up front. Who knows with Pep when it comes to the big games? as. comPublicado a las: 22/02/202320:01CET RB Leipzig starting XI!
