Manchester City

Last updated: Wed 16 August 2023 20:47
In Brief

They thrashed Burnley 3-0 in Premier League opener on Friday. Ruben Dias, Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne are sidelined. John Stones and Kyle Walker are available.

Looking Back

Manchester City dominated from the off away at Burnley, where they grabbed a comfortable win.

Erling Haaland kicked off the new season in style, as he netted a brace to help Man City secure the victory.

Looking Ahead

Starting centre-back Dias is out injured, but Stones and right-back Walker are available for selection and could start on Wednesday.

Man City star De Bruyne is sidelined after suffering an injury against Burnley. A solid Mateo Kovacic could start, but De Bruyne is a key player for City.

Starting attacking midfielder Silva is sidelined due to illness. Phil Foden could fill in, with Jack Grealish starting on the left.

Sevilla

Last updated: Wed 16 August 2023 20:47
In Brief

Sevilla lost their first league game of the season on Friday. Missing the injured Alfonso Pastor, Marcao and Tanguy Nianzou. Doubts over Fernando Reges despite making the squad.

Looking Back

Sevilla had their first LaLiga game on Friday, and lost 2-1 at home to Valencia.

That was a big disappointment and has raised concerns about coach Jose Luis Mendilibar, who they begrudgingly gave a contract extension to after he surprisingly won last year's Europa League.

Despite his lack of experience in Europe, Mendilibar did really well in last season's Europa League and didn't lose a single game.

Looking Ahead

Third-choice goalkeeper Alfonso Pastor is out injured.

Backup centre-backs Marcao and Tanguy Nianzou are out injured.

Starting central midfielder Fernando Reges is a doubt with sickness despite making the squad. Can be replaced by new signing Djibril Sow.

Points of Interest

There is no real advantage for either side in terms of rest time, since they both played their most recent match on Friday.
