Goalkeeper Ederson has been named in Pep Guardiola’s squad after being caught in the face by a high boot from Sadio Mane during last weekend’s 5-0 win over Liverpool.
City captain Vincent Kompany has not travelled with the squad after picking up a calf injury that kept him out of Saturday’s victory. Guardiola has said the Belgian is “much better” now and is “coming back soon”.
Follow all of the live action below.
What time does it start?
The game kicks off at 7.45pm on Wednesday 13 September at De Kuip.
Where can I watch it?
The game will be shown live on BT Sport ESPN and BT Sport Showcase for free.
It’s a big game for?
John Stones. The Englishman will be expected to marshal City’s defence in the absence of Kompany and prove his ability to lead from the back. City’s backline has looked unconvincing and shaky at times without the Belgian, as was the case for periods of the game last Saturday, but Stones will want to show that it doesn’t have to be this way.
Player to watch?
Gabriel Jesus. The Brazilian has been in impressive form for City so far this season, hitting three league goals from four games. At just 20 years old, Jesus is only just getting started but already requires the talent to carve open defences with his speed, technical ability and surprising strength. He should be in his element on Wednesday night as he bids to prove why he can be City’s No 1 man.

Goal! Liverpool 1-1 Sevilla (Firmino 21')
Alberto Moreno and Jordan Henderson work space for the left-back to fire a low cross towards Roberto Firmino who was first in the line of several Liverpool player to tap the ball into the net. Game on!
22 mins: Liverpool unleash one of their infamous counter attacks and Saido Mane leads the drive into Sevilla's half and tees up Emre Can who pulls a shot with his left foot wide of the post. It should be 2-1. Liverpool playing with lots of confidence now.
25 mins: Sevilla's game plan has completely gone out the window. By no means were they comfortable at 1-0 up but they defended very deep and allowed Liverpool to build and apply pressure. The visiting side are making rare ventures into Liverpool's half but don't seem to dangerous.
'Muted'
BT Sport commentator Darren Fletcher describes the Kop's reaction as 'muted' when Philippe Countinho begins his first warm up of the evening.
31 mins: Sevilla are enjoying a rare spell of possession in the middle of the park as they look to slow the game down after a series of electrifying Liverpool attacks.
34 mins: Gabriel Mercado catches Roberto Firmino very late on the touchline and receives a yellow card. Saido Mane's evening has just got a lot more interesting now that Sevilla's left-back is on thin ice.
Goal! Liverpool 2-1 Sevilla (Mo Salah)
It's been coming! Mohamed Salah nicks the ball from Steven N'Zozi then fires a shot goal-bound which takes a deflection to take it over Sergio Rico.
38 mins: Liverpool are continuing to press high up the pitch but in Alberto Moreno's case a little to hard. He goes into the book for a strong tackle.
Penalty missed!
42 mins: Alberto Moreno flicks it to Saido Mane who is hurled down by Nico Pareja who receives a yellow card.
Roberto Firmino steps up and hits the right post with his effort. Anfield is deflated.
