Fixture: Manchester City vs Hoffenheim
Competition: Champions League
Kick-off: 20:00 (UK time)

Manchester City have announced their starting eleven and substitutes to play host to Bundesliga club Hoffenheim at the Etihad Stadium.

Pep Guardiola's side can make sure of top spot in Group F if they manage just a draw against Hoffenheim.




The Citizens are without a number of players though, with Sergio Aguero, David Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, Benjamin Mendy and Claudio Bravo all out of action.

Guardiola selects Ederson in goal, while Aymeric Laporte, Nicolas Otamendi and John Stones all play. Ilkay Gundogan gets the vote to start, along with Phil Foden, while Leroy Sane, Bernardo Silva and Raheem Sterling support Gabriel Jesus.

The former Barcelona boss can look to his bench if he needs to make changes, where he has options including Riyad Mahrez and Vincent Kompany.
