Man City v Porto team news
Man City: Guardiola’s squad depth is already being put to the test with a raft of injuries set to sideline several key players.
Aymeric Laporte, Benjamin Mendy, Kevin De Bruyne, Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko are all unavailable for Wednesday’s match.
Porto: Manager Sergio Conceicao has a near fully fit squad at his disposal with only goalkeeper Mouhamed Mbaye unavailable.
Moussa Marega is sure to start and could prove to be a bit of a menace on the counter attack.
Our prediction: Man City v Porto
You can’t help but feel that City, even with their fitness issues, will simply overpower their Portuguese opponents.
With Sergio Aguero back in the fold and Sterling pulling the strings, Porto could spend the majority of their evening chasing the ball.
Porto will certainly have their opportunities, especially on the counter, but whether they will have enough to overcome the might of City remains a doubt.
Our prediction: Man City 3-1 Porto
