Rico Lewis: I believe Khusanov will likely be rested for Sunday’s conflict with Arsenal. If that happens, I anticipate Rico Lewis to begin at right-back.
Ruben Dias: Dias’s management will likely be essential tonight. Will probably be on Ruben Dias to make sure that Metropolis’s defence performs because it did towards Manchester United.

Tijjani Reijnders: The Dutch worldwide looks as if a lock to begin towards Napoli.
Phil Foden: I’m hoping Foden begins in midfield tonight to hold on from his sturdy derby show.
Oscar Bobb: The Norwegian worldwide is my choose to begin on the appropriate wing.
Jeremy Doku: Doku was sensible within the derby and the left wing appears to his spot to lose for now.
Erling Haaland: Haaland will begin up entrance and if he can play as he did towards United he’ll set the tone for his staff towards a tricky Napoli outfit.
