Manchester City: Pep Guardiola has taken a squad of 19 players to Slovakia for Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League meeting with Slovan Bratislava while English defender John Stones said in the pre-match press conference he is “100%” ready if called upon by Guardiola to fill the midfield hole left by the season-ending injury to Rodri, in case he’s needed. 

Possible Manchester City XI: Ortega; Lewis, Stones, Akanji, Gvardiol; Nunes, Kovacic; Savinho, Foden, Doku; Haaland.
