Man City vs Sevilla - Champions League: Team news, lineups & prediction

Manchester City have already secured first place in Group G but will look to end a run of two consecutive 0-0 draws when they host Sevilla on Wednesday.

Stalemates against Copenhagen and Borussia Dortmund did not slow Pep Guardiola's side down, but they'll hope to return to winning ways against a Sevilla side who will finish third in the group and have significantly bigger issues than this dead rubber to worry about.

Here's all you need to know about this one.

Man City team news

Striker Erling Haaland will be kept away from this one. The prolific Norwegian is dealing with 'ligament damage' and although it's not thought to be serious, there will be no risks taken in such an inconsequential fixture.

Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips remain out and there are doubts over the fitness of Cole Palmer, who could have been a certainty to start before picking up an injury.

Man City vs Sevilla score prediction

City are far from their strongest at the minute and Pep Guardiola will give his star players a rest given there is nothing to play for here, but they should still breeze past a Sevilla side in real turmoil.

The visitors, who also have nothing on the line, are down in 18th in La Liga and will not prioritise this fixture over their La Liga campaign, which is at risk of collapsing beyond repair if their miserable form continues much longer.

Rotation at the back should weaken City enough for Sevilla to get a goal but that's as much as Sevilla can hope for.

Prediction: Man City 3-1 Sevilla
