Captain Options

Kevin de Bruyne is one of the finest playmakers in the world. He played a key role in City’s success last year. He is fit again after injury and will have a say in this game.

Gabriel Jesus has been in sparkling form in the league. He has been positioned out wide on the right and he is regularly picking assists with the odd goal.

Differential Pick

Emil Forsberg could be pivotal for the away side’s chances in this game. The veteran looked very good in the Euros.
