How Manchester City could line up against Red Star Belgrade

Sports Mole looks at how Manchester City could line up in Tuesday's Champions League clash with Red Star Belgrade at the Etihad Stadium.

Pep Guardiola could be tempted to lean on most, if not all, of the starters from their West Ham United win when they host Red Star Belgrade in matchday one of the Champions League at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday.

With several players touch-and-go for the visit of the Serbian champions, changes could be at a premium.

John Stones has not played since the Community Shield due to a thigh problem, and the England international's return could be delayed for a few more days.

Nathan Ake's late introduction against West Ham suggests a start could be in the offing for the Dutchman on Tuesday.

Mateo Kovacic was not risked by Croatia during the international break due to a back problem, causing the summer arrival's exclusion from the squad that faced West Ham — Bernardo Silva partnering Rodri in the middle of the park is expected.

The trio behind Erling Haaland may be unchanged, even if Guardiola could be tempted to reinstate Jack Grealish, having sat out Saturday's Premier League win because of a muscle issue.

The likelier option could be keeping Jeremy Doku, Julian Alvarez and Phil Foden in the team, with the Belgium international retaining his spot after scoring at the London Stadium.

Unless a late injury is sustained, Haaland's place in the team is assured, and last year's 12-goal man looks to start positively in Europe.

Man City possible starting lineup: Ederson; Walker, Akanji, Dias, Ake; Rodri, Silva; Foden, Alvarez, Doku; Haaland body check tags ::
