Goalkeeper:

I think it has to be Ederson in goal for this game. Claudio Bravo could possibly be in line for a Champions League call up, but will have to be content with a seat on the bench for this game. I am running out of superlatives for the young Brazilian keeper, and remember he is still really young!

At twenty-four years old, the stopper will only get better. He has a unwaivable confidence and, even when he makes a mistake, he seems to return to his calm self. More importantly for City though, I think his performances over the season have relieved the pressure on Bravo.

With pressure off, we now have a strong number one and number two keeper.
