In the Premier League this campaign, Manchester City were expected to be one of the favourites to defend their crown. So far, City have lived up to the favourites tag. They have 14 points from six matches, with four wins and two draws. Even though City were held to a 1-1 draw in the last match, their overall form has been impressive this season. The same cannot be said for Sevilla, who are languishing at the 17th spot in the La Liga table. They have one point from four matches and are heading into this fixture on the back of a 3-0 thumping against Barcelona.

Sevilla made the headlines in this summer window due to some of the high-profile departures from their club. Jules Kounde leaving the club was a big blow for them and not to mention earlier in the window, his partner Diego Carlos also left the club. Besides, the injuries to defenders Karim Rekik and Marcao have only made things worse for them. Jesus Corona’s participation also hangs in doubt. Meanwhile, Manchester City will also miss a defender in the form of Aymeric Laporte. However, they have sufficient replacements for him. It is also unclear whether Kalvin Phillips will be fit for the clash.
Sevilla possible line-up: Bono, Navas, Nianzou, Fernando, Acuna, Jordan, Rakitic, Gudelj, Lamela, Isco, En-Nesyri
Manchester City possible line-up: Ederson, Cancelo, Dias, Stones, Gomez, Gundogan, Rodri, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Foden, Haaland
