Slovan Bratislava
Slovan went full strength at the weekend despite having this game on the horizon, so few changes are expected from that XI.
Kenan Bajric is a doubt after missing out entirely there, so Kevin Wimmer may continue in the centre of defence, with Jurij Medvedev at full-back, and while Lukas Pauschek remains out injured, Danylo Ignatenko did return after a brief absence as a substitute in the win over Michalovce at the weekend.
Slovan are likely to start very defensively, but if they are able to get at Man City, Marko Tolic should be the most influential player for the hosts, playing behind the lone striker David Strelec.
Slovan Bratislava possible starting lineup:
Takac; Blackman, Kashia, Wimmer, Medvedev; Kucka, Ignatenko, Tolic; Barseghyan, Strelec, Weiss Jr
Manchester City
The big news over the past week has been that Rodri will miss the rest of the season due to the knee injury picked up against Arsenal, as the club has confirmed he tore his ACL in the first half last week.
Rico Lewis came into midfield to fill the void against Newcastle, but Guardiola also has Matheus Nunes available to him to potentially partner Mateo Kovacic.
Kevin De Bruyne also missed the weekend trip to the North East, and it is unlikely he will be risked here, but Phil Foden could be handed just his second start of the season, after dropping back to the bench against Newcastle.
Nathan Ake and Oscar Bobb remain sidelined with injury too, while wide pairing Savinho and Jeremy Doku could both come into the side here after only starting on the bench on Saturday.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ortega; Lewis, Stones, Akanji, Gvardiol; Matheus Nunes, Kovacic; Savinho, Foden, Doku; Haaland
Prediction: Slovan Bratislava 0-6 Manchester City
