Manchester City’s coach Pep Guardiola set several news in Manchester City’s lineup against Young Boys in Wankdorf Stadium on the third day of the 2023/2024 Champions League’s group stage, with the presence of Jack Grealish as the main news for the Citizen alongside the return of Ederson to the goal of the Sky Blues.
In this sense, Guardiola gave rest to Foden, Julian Alvarez, Bernardo, Stones and Walker against the Swiss team, who would be considered the weakest of the group even behind Red Star, who was trashed 3-1 in the Etihad Stadium on the first day of the competition with an exhibition of Julian Alvarez.
In addition, regarding the way the game went for the Citizen, the Catalan coach could give some minutes to young players such as Oscar Bobb and Micah Hamilton, who could make his debut with Manchester City’s senior team against the Swiss team, as a proof of the confidence that Guardiola has on young players from City’s academy.
The Citizen will try to remain perfect in the Champions League, where they have won all their games until not. Pep Guardiola set the following lineup: Ederson; Lewis, Akanji, Dias, Ake; Kovacic, Rodri, Nunes; Doku, Haaland, Grealish. As substitutes, the Catalan coach will have the following players: Ortega, Carson, Walker, Phillips, Stones, Julian Alvarez, Bernardo, Gomez, Gvardiol, Foden, Bobb, Hamilton.
