Goal-keeper
Matt Turner (6.0 Cr) has been brilliant in important fixtures as seen in the FA Cup matches which should allow him to fight hard for a clean sheet against this tough opposition.
Defenders
Manuel Akanji (8.5 Cr) will be an impressive addition to the squad and will be a huge motivator with excellent control during air battles which should keep him focused on this match.
Kyle Walker (8.5 Cr) will be playing right back which should allow him to regain his confidence in the prime position as he will aim to create counter-attacking opportunities for his team.
Oleksandr Zinchenko (8.5 Cr) is considered one of the best left-backs in the world with consistent attacking contributions for Manchester City last year that could play a crucial role against his former club.
Gabrial Magalhaes (8.5 Cr) has played an important role in the recent fixtures along with his understanding of the opposition that could give him an edge to find assists in this match.
Midfielders
Riyad Mahrez (9.5 Cr) was brilliant in the initial stages of the tournament and could soon fight back to regain his goal-scoring performance in this tournament which makes him a crucial contributor..
Kevin de Bruyne (9.0 Cr) has been a responsible midfielder with a fantastic understanding of the game and an impressive show of attacking thrust in the FA Cup which makes him a potential game-changer.
Bukayo Saka (9.0 Cr) was able to show his fighting spirit to keep the team motivated with a goal in his last match against Manchester United that should be channeled into his performance for this match.
Martin Odegaard (9.0 Cr) has been consistent in the premier league which can allow him to showcase his several shots on target and passing accuracy with the potential to find the net which makes him our prime choice for this encounter.
Forwards
Erling Haaland (9.0 Cr) will come here after scoring a hattrick in his last match which could lay the momentum for what could be an enthralling encounter.
Eddie Nketiah (10.5 Cr) is underrated considering his goal-scoring potential which should not stop him from making his presence known with his consistent shots on target which could convert into goals.
Captain And Vice-Captain
E.Haaland is our captain because of his brilliant form and consistent goals
M.Odegaard is our vice-captain because of his ability to play as an additional attacker which can be necessary for this match.
