Like what PSG can hope for, Manchester City’s main objective is to one day be able to win the Champions League. But for the moment, the Citizens have never managed to perform well in this competition. Often successful in the group stage, the Mancuniens regularly find themselves in knockout matches. Last year, Pep Guardiola’s men failed in the quarter-finals against Olympique Lyonnais in Final 8 last August. A few weeks before that, Manchester City had not been able to keep their title of champion of England by finishing only in the 2nd place of the championship of England with 18 points behind the champion, Liverpool. To start this new season, the Skyblues have figured rather well by winning on the lawn of Wolverhampton (1-3) before experiencing a big setback against Leicester (2-5). Finally, they were held in check by the promoted Leeds (1-1) before the truce before returning to success against Arsenal this weekend (1-0).

After a fierce battle with their rivals, Benfica, FC Porto managed to regain the Portuguese title this summer. The Dragons indeed finished at the top of the standings with 5 units ahead of the Lisbonites and won their 29th national title. For their return to business, they got off to a good start by winning the first two days against Braga (3-1) and Boavista (0-5). However, before the break, they missed each other at home against Maritimo (2-3) and were content with a draw against Sporting this weekend (2-2). Forced to play only in the Europa League last year, Sergio Conceiçao’s men finished at the top of their group but gave in in the round of 16 against Bayer Leverkusen.

The workforce for Manchester City vs FC Porto

On the Citizen side, playing master De Bruyne and Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus is on the floor. Moreover, Ukrainian midfielder Zinchenko was not there against Arsenal and remains uncertain while Kun Aguero made his comeback this weekend after several months of absence. Against the Gunners, it was the inevitable Sterling who allowed his team to take the three points.

Two absences are to be reported from Porto. It is that of substitute goalkeeper Mbaye and experienced defender Marcano. Arrived this summer on loan from Chelsea, the former Niçois Malang Sarr has not yet played a minute of the game with the Dragons. Offensively, we should find the trio Corono, Marega, Diaz.

The probable lineups for Manchester City vs Porto:

Manchester City: Ederson – Walker, Ruben Dias, Laporte, Mendy – De Bruyne, Rodri, Foden – Bernardo Silva, Mahrez, Sterling.
Porto: Marchesin – Wilson Manafa, Mbemba, Pepe, Alex Telles – Sergio Oliveira, Otavio, Uribe – Corona, Marega, Diaz.
