Man City vs Marseille preview: Team news, stats, kick-off time

Team news and stats ahead of Man City vs Marseille in the Champions League group stage on Wednesday; kick-off 8pm.

Team news

Manchester City's second-choice goalkeeper Zack Steffen is expected to face Marseille in City's final Group C game at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.

With City having already secured their place in the last 16, manager Pep Guardiola has indicated he will make wholesale changes to his side.

Guardiola said he has a fully-fit squad available, meaning Sergio Aguero could be ready to return. Aguero, who has made just four appearances this season, has missed the last three games due to discomfort in his knee.

Guardiola has again stressed he will not be rotating his squad for purposes of resting players ahead of this weekend's Manchester derby, but he wants to give other players more minutes.

Midfielder Phil Foden is one of the players likely to come into the side; the youngster has not started in the Premier League since October but has started the last four Champions League games.
