After netting eight goals to Salford City, Manchester City again fumbled <\/span>at the wrong time<\/span>. They ruined a 2-0 lead against Brentford as the game settled for a draw. It\u2019s getting frustrating for the English champions but it has been that kind of a season for them so far.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Citizens will <\/span>next<\/span> lock horns with Ipswich Town in the Premier League this Sunday. They will be motivated <\/span>to not commit similar mistakes<\/span> and take all three points home. It will be an important display considering <\/span>the fact<\/span> they play PSG after this tie.<\/span><\/p>\n

Defence<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Stefan Ortega<\/a> could\u2019ve done better to save the equalizer in the previous game. However, he continues to operate between the sticks. Matheus Nunes was played as the right-back over Rico Lewis but that shouldn\u2019t be the case this time.<\/span><\/p>\n

The duo of Nathan Ake and Manuel Akanji remain intact at the heart of the defence with Josko Gvardiol <\/span>playing<\/span> as the left-back.<\/span><\/p>\n

Midfield<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

While Mateo Kovacic continues in the middle of the park, Bernardo Silva<\/a> might be sacrificed to make way for Ilkay Gundogan this weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n

Attack<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola<\/a> will surely look to manage Savinho to keep him fresh, <\/span>which will allow<\/span> Jeremy Doku to play on the left wing. Phil Foden is operating on the other side of the pitch with Kevin De Bruyne being the attacking midfielder.<\/span><\/p>\n

Erling Haaland leads the attacking pack as usual and his long-term contract at Etihad Stadium is another good news for the City fans.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rodri (ACL), Oscar Bobb (leg) and Ruben Dias (calf) are confirmed absentees while John Stones (foot) is marching towards a return. Kyle Walker will not be involved as his search for a new club <\/span>carries on<\/span> off the field.<\/span><\/p>\n
