We head to the Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City in our second Premier League fixture of the new season on Saturday lunchtime.

Both sides enjoyed high-scoring victories on the opening weekend – while we defeated Burnley 3-0 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Pep Guardiola’s side ran out 4-0 winners at Wolves.

What is the team news?

Left-back Destiny Udogie is back in training but Thomas Frank confirmed on Friday lunchtime that he won’t be ready to face City.

Midfielder Yves Bissouma also misses out, joining longer-term absentees James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Radu Dragusin on the sidelines.

Phil Foden, Rodri and Ederson are back in the frame for the home side.

Foden and Rodri travelled to Wolves last week but were not part of City’s matchday squad, while Ederson was unwell with James Trafford stepping in between the sticks.

Guardiola will consider them all for selection, but Josko Gvardiol, Mateo Kovacic and Savinho are expected to miss out.

Who is the referee?

Saturday’s match will be refereed by Peter Bankes, with Eddie Smart and Blake Antrobus as his assistants and Andrew Kitchen as the fourth official.

VAR duties will be handled by Andy Madley and assistant Sian Massey-Ellis.
