Manchester City XI vs Monaco – Predicted lineup and team news

Manchester City travel to the French Riviera on Wednesday, aiming to make it two wins from two in their Champions League campaign.

After a comfortable opening victory against Napoli, Pep Guardiola’s side are in good form. They will be looking to build on their 5-1 weekend demolition of Burnley with another strong performance.

The fixture also offers a chance for revenge. Monaco are one of only two teams to have ever eliminated a Pep Guardiola side from the Champions League before the quarter-finals, knocking City out in a memorable tie back in 2017. Therefore, a victory at the Stade Louis-II would banish those ghosts and solidify their control of the group.

Pep Guardiola has been handed a huge fitness boost. Influential midfielder Rodri is expected to be available to start despite being a doubt with a knee problem. However, the manager is still without long-term absentees Abdukodir Khusanov, Rayan Aït-Nouri, Omar Marmoush, and Rayan Cherki.

Erling Haaland will lead the line, making his 50th Champions League appearance in a career that has already seen him score a record 50 goals in the competition. He will be supported by Phil Foden, who created a game-high eight chances on matchday one.
