SEVEN CHANGES​

City make seven changes for our Champions League clash with Young Boys - Ederson, Rico Lewis, Ruben Dias, Nathan Ake, Mateo Kovacic, Matheus Nunes and Jack Grealish all come in to the side that beat Brighton at the weekend.
Stefan Ortega Moreno, Kyle Walker, John Stones, Josko Gvardiol, Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez move to the bench.

NO DOUBTS​

Pep Guardiola spoke before the game and said he no concerns about Jack Grealish having the same impact as during our Treble-winning campaign.
“I don’t have not one second, piece or doubt about Jack and his quality and what he has done for us since he arrived two years ago, and especially last season,” the City boss said.
“It’s difficult when in your first season you don't play all the games and then in the second, he played a lot, not just in the Champions League but the Treble.
“He was decisive and gave us something unique - the power, strength, mentality."

Artificial pitch tonight

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

The home side start quickly and Ederson is pressed into an early save, albeit an easy one as he punches the ball clear.

This pitch is going to be interesting.

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

Artificial pitch tonight

They say they are much better now that we are used to and the bounce is an even bounce, the EDS liked it earlier

 

[Skoorb]

Yes. Yellow card early doors for a cynical challenge on Doku.

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

YB attacking early doors hoping to get a goal and it is them that get the first Yellow

 

[Skoorb]

Well done ref

4'

IN THE BOOK​

First caution of the game as Young Boys' Joel Monteiro is shown an early yellow card for a clumsy challenge on Jeremy Doku.

 

[Skoorb]

That should have been 0-1

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

Off topic as Liam Delap scores for Hull

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

That should have been 0-1

GOOD OPPORTUNITY​

A great chance for Matheus Nunes but he can't keep his shot down. Jack Grealish pulls the ball back to the penalty spot but the Portuguese midfielder's effort goes over the bar.
