Ruben Dias, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Riyad Mahrez all come into the starting line up.
From the side that began against Everton on Sunday, Aymeric Laporte and Cole Palmer revert to the bench while Phil Foden is not fully fit for selection.
Kevin De Bruyne is still unavailable for selection whilst he continues to self-isolate following a positive COVID-19 test.
Jack Grealish is also ruled out as he is still not fuly after returning from the international break with an injury.

FORMATION
As always, we will to have to wait until kick-off for tonight’s with City having the option of going with our tried and trusted 4-3-3 formation, alternatively a 4-4-2 set-up or potentially even playing a back five.
If it is a 4-3-3 base, goalkeeper Ederson, who is targeting a 100th career clean sheet for City, could be shielded by a back four of Kyle Walker, Ruben Dias, John Stones and most likely Joao Cancelo.
Rodrigo is set to be the holding midfielder with Ilkay Gundogan and Oleks Zinchenko, who makes his second start of the season, also potentially in the engine room.
Raheem Sterling, Bernardo Silva and Riyad Mahrez may make up the forward trio but, as always with our flexible quality, kick-off will reveal the exact nature of our tactical approach
EYES ON THE PRIZE
The mathematics and permutations are deliciously simple for City ahead of kick-off.
A point will guarantee that Guardiola’s side secure our ticket through to the last 16.
But a victory over Mauricio Pochettino’s star-studded side would secure us first place in Group A with a game to spare.
So there’s no lack motivation ahead of one of the most eagerly-awaited games of the season.
