After 10 years at the club, Pep Guardiola takes charge of Manchester City for the final time against Aston Villa on Sunday at 17:00 in the Premier League. He has rotated heavily. Bernardo Silva and John Stones start and will leave the club after this game.

According to L'Équipe, the Spaniard made 10 changes from Tuesday’s 1-1 draw with Bournemouth, retaining only captain Bernardo Silva from that XI. The Portugal international has spent nine seasons at the Etihad.
