As Manchester City prepare to face Bayern Munich in an upcoming friendly on Wednesday, we have tried to call their predicted lineup.
Coming off the back of their 5-3 victory against Yokohama F.Marinos, we expect Pep Guardiola to make as many as five changes to his side.
Manchester City predicted lineup vs Bayern Munich
Stefan Ortega, who was typically reliable in net during Sunday’s clash is expected to start in our Manchester City predicted lineup against Bayern Munich.
At right-back, Rico Lewis looks set to come in for Kyle Walker, who was reported to be excluded from the contest by journalist Florian Plettenburg, as he edges closer to a move to Thomas Tuchel’s side.
Despite having scored and put in a masterful display against Yokohama F.Marinos, John Stones, who is known to be quite injury-prone could be rested for precautionary purposes, with Ruben Dias taking his place.
Alongside the Portuguese defender could be Manuel Akanji, who may retain his place in our Manchester City predicted lineup that faces off against Bayern.
The same could be the case for Nathan Ake at left-back.
Similarly, Kalvin Phillips, who was somewhat at fault for Yokohama F.Marinos’ second goal could start once again on Wednesday in order to assess how he fares against one of the best teams in the world.
Mateo Kovacic, who made his debut for the Sky Blues on Sunday could also start on the left-hand side of a midfield trio against the Germans as well.
The change in the middle of the park could come in the form of Phil Foden, who assisted Erling Haaland’s opener against the Japanese outfit, as he starts in our Manchester City predicted lineup.
Oscar Bobb, whose latest display was branded as ‘unbelievable’ by Pep Guardiola could replace Cole Palmer on the right flank.
Up front, seeing how Erling Haaland came off the bench to score a brilliant brace against Yokohama F.Marinos, he could take Julian Alvarez’s place in the side.
At left-wing, Jack Grealish could also be benched for Cole Palmer, who could keep his place in the side, albeit in a different position to cap off our Manchester City predicted lineup to square up against the Bundesliga giants.
Manchester City predicted lineup vs Bayern Munich: Ortega, Lewis, Dias, Akanji, Ake, Phillips, Kovacic, Foden, Bobb, Haaland, Palmer
