With Ricardo out, young star Bade Aluko go slot in for di back four. This boy don impress for centre-back position, but now e go shift to full-back (left side) to cover ground. James Justin dey opposite while Conor Coady and Jannik Vestergaard go hold di centre-back position. Midfield? Na Harry Winks and Oliver Skipp go dey handle am while Louis Page go join dem for the midfield action.
The front line dey hot with Jeremy Monga operating from the left, Kasey McAteer on the right, and Jordan Ayew as di striker. Abdul Fatawu go dey chill for bench, after hin first appearance for City after eight months long rest.
