Manchester City vs Galatasaray – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Manchester City host Galatasaray at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, aiming to secure a vital victory.

The Citizens have moved into a difficult phase of their season. They currently occupy 11th place in the league phase table. Manager Pep Guardiola faces a defensive crisis before this final matchday. His side has conceded several goals from fast breaks in recent weeks. A win is essential to avoid the play-off rounds and restore squad morale.

Manchester City Team News

Pep Guardiola manages a squad stretched by several senior absences. Notably, Rúben Dias, Joško Gvardiol, and John Stones remain injured. New signing Marc Guéhi is ineligible to play in this stage. Consequently, Nathan Ake may partner Abdukodir Khusanov in a makeshift central defence. Midfield anchor Rodri is also unavailable due to a one-match suspension.

Gianluigi Donnarumma will continue in goal behind a remodelled backline. Erling Haaland is expected to lead the attack as the primary focal point. He has scored 21 goals in 18 home games in this competition. Phil Foden and Rayan Cherki could form the creative midfield core tonight. Jeremy Doku and Rico Lewis are likely to provide the width from the flanks.
