Erling Haaland returned to training after recovering from a foot injury, but considering that they will be facing a Championship side, Guardiola would rather opt to start Julian Alvarez upfront.
Jeremy Doku is also back following a muscle problem, and so is Kevin De Bruyne. The latter was named as a substitute against Sheffield United, and the duo may for the most be named on the bench over here.
John Stones is being treated for an ankle injury, while Rodri is unavailable due to personal reasons.
