In terms of team line-ups, Pep Guardiola is relying on his 4-3-3. Ederson is in goal, Lewis rather than Walker on the right, Akanji-Dias in the centre and Gvardiol on the left side of the defence. In midfield, Rodri is partnered with Bernardo Silva with captain De Bruyne at the top. Finally in attack, Savinho and Grealish accompany Haaland. For the Italians, it is a 3-5-2 that is concocted by Simone Inzaghi. Sommer is unsurprisingly present, Bisseck is preferred to Pavard alongside Acerbi and Bastoni. Darmian and Augusto as pistons, Barella as well as Calhanoglu and Zielinski in midfield. Finally in attack, Taremi pushes Martinez to the bench, the Iranian forms the attacking duo with Thuram.
