Ederson should keep his place between the sticks, but John Stones might be given a rest in the league again, so Aymeric Laporte could be brought in alongside Ruben Dias at centre-back – the pair partnered each other in last Saturday’s 2-0 win over Leicester City.

Joao Cancelo also sat out the Leicester game and returned in midweek, so Guardiola may want to give him a break and allow Benjamin Mendy another opportunity to prove his worth.
