Pep Guardiola’s side are a well-oiled machine and will be eager to avenge the FA Cup defeat.

Luke Shaw is doubtful and Tyrell Malacia is still out injured. Harry Amass could make his senior team bow for the club.
Rasmus Hojlund is sidelined with a hamstring injury, and Jadon Sancho is in line to replace him up front.
