Manchester City
Aymeric Laporte and Ruben Dias, who are dealing with back and hamstring problems respectively, should be City's lone absentees once more for the third-round fixture.
Laporte could even try to push through his issue in time for this game, although it is doubtful that he will be risked right away. World Cup star Julian Alvarez should also be taken into consideration for a few minutes here.
super subs Although Guardiola may decide to reserve the most of his changes for the upcoming EFL Cup match against Southampton, Mahrez, Grealish, and Kalvin Phillips might all benefit from some much-needed rotation.
Possible starting lineup for Manchester City includes Ortega, Lewis, Stones, Akanji, Cancelo, Gundogan, Phillips, and De Bruyne, as well as Mahrez, Alvarez, and Grealish.
Chelsea
In comparison, Chelsea now has 10 players out injured, with Sterling and Pulisic leaving the game against Man City early due to hamstring injuries and knocks, respectively. Mount also had a knock before the game.
It is unlikely that any of the trio will appear in this match because Potter is still without Reece James, Armando Broja, N'Golo Kante, and Edouard Mendy. It is also unknown if Wesley Fofana, Ben Chilwell, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek will be able to make their comebacks in this match.
Young stars like Carney Chukwuemeka, Omari Hutchinson, and Lewis Hall should undoubtedly capitalize on the struggles of their injured teammates here, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be hoping for a second chance after being substituted for Sterling on Wednesday and then removed again on Thursday.
Kepa, Azpilicueta, Chalobah, Koulibaly, Cucurella, Jorginho, Zakaria, Chukwuemeka, Ziyech, Havertz, and Aubameyang might be Chelsea's starting lineup.
Manchester City will likely defeat Chelsea 2-0.
