Man City will hope to record their first away win of the Champions League campaign when they travel to face Villarreal on Tuesday night. Pep Guardiola's side head into the clash on the back of a 2-0 home win over Everton, which extended their unbeaten run to eight matches across all competitions.
Erling Haaland was the standout performer with another brace at the weekend, though Guardiola is likely to make a few changes to his starting line up for the European clash. Rodri and Abdukodir Khusanov both missed training on the eve of the match, while Nico O'Reilly picked up a knock in the closing stages and was substituted as a precaution.
City won't want to take any unnecessary risks with their team selection on Tuesday night and here is how we think they should line up against Villarreal.
Donnaurumma has to start any match if he is fit.
