Leeds United
Leeds' doctors have been working overtime as they aim to recover a host of players for Marsch, who is without the suspended Tyler Adams as well as long-term injury victims Stuart Dallas and Archie Gray, while Luis Sinisterra will not make the cut either.
First-choice goalkeeper Illan Meslier is recovering from glandular fever and is one of a number of doubts alongside Patrick Bamford, Crysencio Summerville, Rodrigo, Liam Cooper, Jack Harrison and Mateusz Klich, although the latter is apparently close to a move to MLS side DC United.
Bamford is considered the least likely of Leeds' injury doubts to be passed fit for Wednesday, where Norway's Kristoffer Klaesson will make just his second Premier League appearance in goal if Meslier is not ready to return.
Leeds United possible starting lineup:
Klaesson; Kristensen, Cooper, Koch, Struijk; Roca, Forshaw; Aaronson, Rodrigo, Harrison; Gelhardt
Manchester City
While the Yorkshire-born Haaland will make a return to home territory, Kalvin Phillips will not, as Guardiola bluntly admitted that the ex-Leeds midfielder - who recently recovered from shoulder surgery - returned from the World Cup overweight and will not be considered for selection just yet.
Portuguese centre-back Ruben Dias could also be out for up to a month after sustaining a hamstring injury in A Selecao's World Cup quarter-final loss to Morocco, while four-goal Argentina hero Julian Alvarez may not be back until the New Year following his exploits in Qatar.
Other World Cup representatives such as Ederson, Kyle Walker, Joao Cancelo and Bernardo Silva ought to make their returns to the starting lineup for Man City, while Phil Foden and Jack Grealish will battle it out to start on the left before Alvarez returns to stake his claim for regular minutes.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Walker, Stones, Akanji, Cancelo; Gundogan, Rodri, De Bruyne; B. Silva, Haaland, Foden
Prediction: Leeds United 0-4 Manchester City
