Team news & rosters
| Position | Man City roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Steffen, Ederson, Carson, Slicker |
| Defenders | Walker, Dias, Stones, Ake, Laporte, Cancelo, Egan-Riley, Mbete, Wilson-Esbrand |
| Midfielders | Gundogan, Zinchenko, Rodri, De Bruyne, Silva, Fernandinho, Foden, Palmer, McAtee, Lavia |

Still stung by their loss in Portugal last year, Manchester City look like they will take some stopping this time around - but their continued pursuit of silverware on multiple fronts could leave them stretched thin.
With an arguably bigger clash against Liverpool that could shape the Premier League title race just around the corner, is there a chance they could take their eye off the ball here?
Predicted Man City starting XI: Ederson; Cancelo, Laporte, Stones, Zinchenko; Silva, Rodri, De Bruyne; Grealish, Foden, Sterling.
| Position | Atletico roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Lecomte, Oblak, Gomes |
| Defenders | Gimenez, Lodi, Savic, Felipe, A. Moreno, Hermoso, Mandava, Vrsaljko, M. Moreno, Lama, Rojas, Camara, Diez |
| Midfielders | Kondogbia, De Paul, Koke, Lemar, Llorente, Herrera, Wass, Carrasco, Serrano, Rivas |
| Forwards | Felix, Griezmann, Suarez, Correa, Cunha, Simeone, Martin |
Diego Simeone will likely look back on the 2021-22 campaign as something of a mixed bag with a failed domestic defence in La Liga - but a win over Manchester United leaves them firmly still in the mix for European glory.
They arrive as underdogs in Manchester, but time and again, the Rojiblancos have shown that they can thrive under the pressure.
Predicted Atletico starting XI: Oblak; Savic, Hermoso, Reinildo; Llorente, De Paul, Kondogbia, Koke, Lodi; Griezmann, Felix.
