How Manchester City could line up against Borussia Dortmund

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Manchester City could line up for their Champions League quarter-final first leg with Borussia Dortmund.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola once again has a fully-fit squad to choose from for his side's Champions League quarter-final first leg with Borussia Dortmund.

The Spaniard's infamous rotation is likely to strike again, though, and he must also be wary of Joao Cancelo and Fernandinho, who are one booking away from serving a one-match ban in the tournament.

Cancelo will hope to come in for Kyle Walker at right-back nonetheless, but Fernandinho is expected to drop out for Ilkay Gundogan after a rare Premier League start against Leicester City.

Another alteration in defence could see John Stones rotated back into the team for Aymeric Laporte, but Benjamin Mendy will hope to reprise his role at left-back after opening the scoring in style at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

Kevin De Bruyne has chalked up 12 goal contributions from his last 11 Champions League matches and will lead from the front once again, but a complete overhaul of Guardiola's attack could be on the cards here.

Riyad Mahrez, Gabriel Jesus and the departing Sergio Aguero all lined up from the first whistle at the Etihad, but Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden are candidates to feature on the flanks, while Raheem Sterling could operate as a false nine once again.

Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Cancelo, Dias, Stones, Mendy; Rodri, Gundogan, De Bruyne; Silva, Sterling, Foden
