Gvardiol did not take part in City’s last pre-season game and has now been ruled out for GW1.
Rodri and Foden are in the squad, but Rodri will almost certainly not start as Guardiola wants to be cautious with him.
Stones would likely start alongside Dias in his place.
New signing Ait-Nouri will start as will Reijnders who has impressed at the Club World Cup and in pre-season.
Kovacic is out with an achilles injury.
With Savinho nearing a potential move to Spurs he was excluded from the GW1 squad with an apparent ‘injury’.

Spurs Team News:
Spurs put in a great performance in their first competitive game under Thomas Frank, in the Super Cup Final against PSG. Despite surrendering the 2-0 lead and eventually losing there were a lot of positives to take from the game.
Spence starts over Udogie at left-back who is out with an injury. Spence may retain that starting spot even when Udogie returns. He has been in great form for about a year now.
Palhinha had to come off on 60 minutes against PSG and Frank spoke about him lacking true match fitness, however if Frank showed the trust and need for him to start against PSG with a trophy on the line, you have to think he starts this weekend alongside Bentancur.
Kudus and Johnson on the wings although Tel could start over Johnson.
Sarr in the 10. He played well against Arsenal in pre-season and against PSG.
Solanke has barely featured in Spurs pre-season dealing with an injury. He won’t be fit enough to start GW1. Richarlison will start.
