Mateo Kovacic is on the bench, alongside Jack Grealish and Rayan Cherki.
Man City XI: Donnarumma, Khusanov, Dias, Guehi, Gvardiol, Anderson, Lewis, O’Reilly, Foden, Semenyo, Haaland.
Subs: Rulli, Ait-Nouri, Vitor Reis, Nunes, Marmoush, Kovacic, Grealish, Gonzalez, Cherki

City linked Alex Scott also starts and this match could act as an Etihad audition for the Englishman.
Bournemouth XI: Petrovic, Smith, Silva, Hill, Truffert, Scott, Cook, Tavernier, Kluivert, Rayan, Evanilson.
Subs: Adams, Brooks, Dennis, Diakite, Gannon-Doak, Jebbison, Rodriguez, Sanchez, Toth
