Manchester City
Man City right-back Kyle Walker must serve the second of a three-game European ban this week, so Oleksandr Zinchenko can expect to be drafted in on the left-hand side with Joao Cancelo ill.
Guardiola must make do without Ruben Dias for at least four weeks due to a hamstring injury, and Nathan Ake will not shake off a knock in time to feature on Wednesday, while Cole Palmer and Zack Steffen continue to struggle with foot and back injuries respectively.
With the tie all but won, Guardiola may opt to rest Kevin De Bruyne - who would miss the first leg of the quarter-finals if he is booked here - as Ilkay Gundogan returns to man the engine room.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Stones, Fernandinho, Laporte, Zinchenko; Gundogan, Rodri, Silva; Mahrez, Jesus, Sterling
Sporting CP
As for Sporting, Amorim has a suspension of his own to work around in the form of Matheus Nunes, so Manuel Ugarte ought to deputise for the visitors this week.
Two big names in Joao Palhinha and Pedro Goncalves are also set to miss out due to injury alongside Daniel Braganca, so Amorin may be forced to pair Ugarte up with 16-year-old Dario Essugo in the middle.
Man City loanee Pedro Porro will likely line up against his parent club on the right-hand side again, while it is a two-man shootout between Slimani and Paulinho to lead the line.
Sporting Lisbon possible starting lineup:
Adan; Reis, Coates, Inacio; Porro, Ugarte, Essugo, Vinagre; Sarabia, Slimani, Edwards
Prediction:Manchester City 3-0 Sporting Lisbon
