Manchester City returns to UEFA Champions League action to play host to Sparta Prague at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.
Although it wasn't the most convincing performance, City came out on top 2–1 against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League thanks to a late goal from center-back John Stones. Pep Guardiola's team doesn't look as complete as it did with star midfielder Rodri while Kevin De Bruyne inches close to a return from a groin injury.
After a flat 0–0 draw at home against Inter Milan in the opening Champions League matchday, City responded with a 4–0 hammering of ŠK Slovan Bratislava away from home in its first European win of the 2024–25 season. Guardiola won't be able to call on veteran defender Kyle Walker since he's dealing with a thigh injury while De Bruyne's status remains up in the air. However, City has more than enough to still get the job done comfortably at home.
Here's how Guardiola could lineup at home against Sparta Prague.
