Predicted Lineups
Match Preview
Pep Guardiola and Antonio Conte lock horns at the Etihad in one of the standout Champions League fixtures of the opening league phase gameweek.
Kevin De Bruyne is preparing for a rather swift return to the home of his former club, having opted for pastures new in the form of Conte’s Napoli in the summer. The Belgian spent a decade with Manchester City, establishing himself as one of the club’s all-time greats.
Guardiola has said he’s looking forward to welcoming the "unique" De Bruyne back to his old stomping ground, but his priority on Thursday will be improving his head-to-head record against the wily Conte, who oversaw Napoli’s success last season.
The visitors will know they’re not facing a vintage iteration of Guardiola's City, although spirits will be high at the Etihad following Sunday’s 3–0 victory in the Manchester Derby.
Manchester City Team News
Gianluigi Donnarumma had an immediate impact on his Man City debut, keeping a clean sheet in Sunday’s Manchester Derby. The Italian will operate behind a defence that could be slightly changed from the weekend, with Nathan Aké and Rico Lewis potentially coming in.
The hosts are still without Omar Marmoush, Rayan Cherki and Mateo Kovačić, while John Stones and summer addition Rayan Aït-Nouri are doubts. Nico O’Reilly should retain his place at left-back.
Phil Foden starred in the derby and will once again operate as the creative talisman in City’s engine room. Guardiola could offer Rodri respite by returning Nico González to his team alongside Tijjani Reijnders.
Napoli Team News
There will be a Mancunian feel to Napoli’s teams on Thursday night, with Conte set to include De Bruyne, as well as Scott McTominay and Rasmus Højlund in his starting XI.
While De Bruyne has started steadily, McTominay has continued from where he left off last term and Højlund scored against Fiorentina at the weekend.
The Danish striker joined the club off the back of Romelu Lukaku‘s thigh injury, which doesn’t require surgery but will keep him out for a lengthy period.
Napoli are also without centre back Amir Rrahmani.
