One would expect Pep Guardiola to use his full arsenal of attacking options to its greatest extent against Slovan Bratislava. The inclusion of Jeremy Doku, Savinho, and Phil Foden is crucial for increasing City's direct goal threat, especially with Kevin de Bruyne injured. He will likely look to maximize their influence on the game to create more opportunities for Erling Haaland, who needs support to avoid isolation, which affected his performance against Newcastle.
In his pre-match press conference, Stones highlighted the need for all City players to stay fit this season, especially now that Rodri is out for the entire campaign. His struggles with injuries in the past have made it hard for him to find consistency in the lineup, particularly with other defenders performing well in his absence. Tomorrow's match provides a significant opportunity for him to prove his value and reclaim a permanent starting spot.
