Ederson, Walker, Stones, Laporte, Cancelo, De Bruyne, Rodri, Silva, Mahrez, Foden, Sterling
United manager Ralf Rangnick has two fitness concerns heading into the match at the Etihad. Scott McTominay has missed the last two matches due to illness but he has been pictured back in training ahead of Sunday’s game. Edinson Cavani remains a doubt due to a groin injury.
