Manchester City and FC Porto have confirmed their starting lineups ahead of tonight’s match | OneFootball

Manchester City and FC Porto have confirmed their lineups for tonight’s UEFA Champions League league phase fixture at the Estádio do Dragão. Both teams will be aiming to begin their 2026-27 UEFA Champions League campaigns with a victory tonight. Enzo Maresca’s side has begun their Premier League campaign with three straight wins. They’ll be aiming to continue that winning run tonight. However, the Portuguese champions will be no pushover at home. Francesco Farioli’s side are a quality outfit and they have the quality to provide City with a stern test tonight.

Manchester City enter tonight’s match with two players unavailable due to injury. Nico O’Reilly and Jeremy Doku will miss tonight’s match. Jeremy Doku is unavailable due to the calf injury he sustained against Arsenal during the FA Community Shield clash with Arsenal three weeks ago. Nico O’Reilly is out due to the back injury he sustained in the warm-up ahead of Manchester City’s 1-0 win over Coventry City last Saturday. While the pair miss tonight’s match, Enzo Maresca did reveal that the pair could be ready to return for this Sunday’s Manchester derby at Old Trafford.

Matheus Nunes is available for tonight’s match. Manchester City’s first-choice right-back told the media yesterday that he is fit and ready to go.

The starting lineups for both teams can be seen below.
