We made an effort to forecast Manchester City’s predicted lineup as they get ready to battle Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.
Following their 3-1 win over Leicester City, we anticipate Pep Guardiola to make 3 changes to his team.
Bayern Munich vs. Manchester City probable lineup
In our lineup for Manchester City versus Bayern Munich prediction, Ederson will start in goal.
The first change will probably occur at right-back, where Manuel Akanji will replace Kyle Walker, who Pep Guardiola recently conceded ‘cannot’ play an inverted role in his new three-at-the-back formation.
Given that John Stones started the opposite match at center back, he might stay in that spot against Thomas Tuchel’s team rather than switching to right back, keeping his spot in the starting lineup.
Ruben Dias, who had one of the best games in his career during the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal, will be playing alongside the Englishman.
The second alteration might involve Nathan Ake replacing the immensely unpopular Aymeric Laporte at left-back in our expected Manchester City starting eleven. Oleksandr Zinchenko called Nathan Ake “top” against Bayern.
It goes without saying that Rodri will get the start in Munich, especially following the thunderous goal he scored in the two teams’ previous meeting at the Etihad Stadium.
Bernardo Silva, who we continue to anticipate will begin being replaced in midfield by Ilkay Gundogan, is another development that may be on display.
In our lineup for Manchester City against the Bundesliga champions, Kevin De Bruyne is undoubtedly expected to stay in that spot.
Ilkay Gundogan might enter the fray if Riyad Mahrez is benched and Bernardo Silva takes his place following his superb performance against the German giants.
In Erling Haaland, it is given that the player with the first name will get the ball and begin play.
While Jack Grealish has also had a remarkable impact on the team, as noted by Manchester United icon Rio Ferdinand on the FIVE YouTube channel.
Manchester City predicted line-up vs Bayern Munich: Ederson, Akanji, Stones, Dias, Ake, Rodri, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Haaland, Grealish
