Man City predicted lineup vs Sevilla - Champions League

With top spot already secured, Manchester City can relax a little bit when Sevilla come to town on Wednesday for the final Champions League group game.

The visitors are guaranteed to finish third, meaning there is nothing at stake but pride here, so Pep Guardiola may opt for a rotated side to give some of his big guns a rest.

Here's how he could set up.

GK: Stefan Ortega - Drafted in for the last game against Dortmund, Ortega will likely get another run-out here.

RB: Rico Lewis - Lewis has been a regular part of Guardiola's squad this season and this is the perfect chance to hand the youngster a start.

CB: Ruben Dias - Centre-back is arguably the only area of the pitch in which City are not short right now, so Guardiola shouldn't worry too much about giving Dias some more minutes in this one.

CB: Nathan Ake - Ake has been sensational this season and deserves as many minutes as Guardiola can find for him.

LB: Sergio Gomez - Back from his suspension, Gomez can slot back in on the left.

DM: Rodri - Rodri is another who has been on top of their game this season and he'd probably be afforded a rest here if City had the numbers.

CM: Bernardo Silva - Silva will be tasked with bringing the creativity in the absence of Kevin De Bruyne, who will surely be rested.

CM: Ilkay Gundogan - This spot was likely earmarked for Cole Palmer before the youngster picked up an injury.

RW: Riyad Mahrez - Patience appears to be wearing thin with Mahrez from the Man City faithful so a big performance here is a must.

ST: Julian Alvarez - Erling Haaland is being rested as he continues his comeback from a ligament issue so Alvarez will have another chance to make a big impression.

LW: Jack Grealish - Phil Foden will likely be protected from injury on the bench, meaning Grealish could get another start.
