Man City managed to get back to winning ways over the weekend, with an impressive 3-1 win against an in-form Bournemouth side. Pep Guardiola’s side is now second in the Premier League table, six points behind dominant league leaders Arsenal.
However, Pep Guardiola will turn his attention away from the Premier League this week despite a game against Liverpool next weekend. City will welcome Borussia Dortmund to the Etihad Stadium for their fourth game in the Champions League ‘league phase’. City have won two and drawn one game in their opening three, the same as Wednesday’s opponents, Dortmund.
Guardiola will have a lot of choice in terms of his team selection as Man City currently don’t have any injury concerns, as the likes of Rodri and Rayan Ait-Nouri both returned against Bournemouth last time out. So, how could Guardiola line up his City side with a full-strength squad? ManchesterWorld decided to predict what the Man City boss will do...

It feels like there's no way Pep could leave Haaland out, as he scored twice against Bournemouth. However, if he wanted to rest him against Dortmund, he could start Omar Marmoush. | Getty Images
