Group Stage dominance
An interesting couple of stats ahead of the action just to paint more of a picture around how impressive we were in the Group Stages...
In the group stage of this year’s FIFA Club World Cup, City scored more goals (13) than any other side, while we also recorded the most shots (60) and the highest expected goals tally (9.9).

City will be wearing the special edition white shirt with the black and red sash for today’s match.
I have to say that I think it’s always been a classic design in every era it’s been used, whether it makes you think of Asa Hartford, Ali Benarbia or David Silva wearing it.
This current squad deserve their opportunity to wear it!

A more detailed look at tonight's team from Jack Mumford📋

Jon Smith in Orlando 🗣
"It was brilliant to see Rodri back in the starting line-up against Juventus, but it’s understandable that Pep Guardiola has taken him out of the firing line considering it was his first start in more than nine months.
"Gundogan will likely take his spot with Gvardiol coming in at centre-back with Ait-Nouri outside him.
"The other change is Haaland for Marmoush after getting his second goal of the tournament in the win over Juve."

Three changes
Pep Guardiola makes three changes from the side who beat Juventus in our final Group G fixture.
Manuel Akanji, Rodri and Omar Marmoush all drop to the bench with Josko Gvardiol, Ilkay Gundogan and Erling Haaland coming into the side.
Given the heat and humidity out there, rotation will be key, so to have such incredible quality available off the bench could play a huge role in the outcome of tonight's clash.
