Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Manchester City could line up for Wednesday's Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund.

Manchester City will be without a pair of defenders as they welcome Borussia Dortmund to the Etihad for Wednesday's Champions League Group G clash.

Aymeric Laporte's knee injury will render him unavailable until after the international break, while John Stones and Kyle Walker were both absent from last week's 4-0 success over Sevilla. Pep Guardiola has confirmed that the former will be back here, but Walker is still sidelined.

Nevertheless, Ruben Dias and former Dortmund defender Manuel Akanji kept a clean sheet against Sevilla, and the pair should have strong chances of forming the barrier in front of Ederson once more.

Joao Cancelo came up with two assists at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, while Sergio Gomez will likely join Akanji in lining up against his former side here.

Rodri, Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne are seemingly set to link arms in the midfield once again, as Kalvin Phillips and Ilkay Gundogan provide fresh legs from the bench.

Fresh from scoring his 25th goal of the Champions League in just 20 games, Erling Braut Haaland will aim to further increase his tally against his old club, while Phil Foden and Jack Grealish hope to complete an unchanged XI.

Manchester City possible starting lineup: Ederson; Cancelo, Dias, Akanji, Gomez; Silva, Rodri, De Bruyne; Foden, Haaland, Grealish
