Goalkeeper:

Even with the week to ten days Manchester City have had, I still think Ederson gets the nod. There is certainly an argument that bringing in Claudio Bravo could allow Ederson to recover his composure and confidence.

I think that Ederson is the type of player who will not hide though. He will want to pull on those gloves and take his position between the sticks. Of course his distribution is fantastic, and that will continue to be. Tomorrow it will be critical to see how he reacts to shots and pressure in the box.
