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.

Creating chances was of no difficulty for Jurgen Klopp's side but the manager will be hugely frustrated Liverpool couldn't add to their lead when 2-1 up. Conversely, that was a lesson on how to play away from home in Europe by Sevilla who will be delighted with the outcome.
'We need to be more ruthless'
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson to BT Sport: "I thought we could have took the three points with the chances we created. They got us twice on the counter attack. I thought the lads put in a good shift after the weekend. We wanted to win the ball back quickly at home with the crowd behind us.
"I think overall there's a lot of positives to come out of the game but we're disappointed to not get the three points.
"Roberto's scored penalties for us before, we had plenty more chances to score. we need to be more ruthless and go three or four up. We need to continue that performance level and we'll start winning games."
Here's the rest of the results from around Europe this evening including Maribor's surprise draw against Spartak Moscow in the other game in Group E.
'It doesn't feel too good'
Jurgen Klopp to BT Sport: "85/86 minutes it was a winning performance. We had answers for pretty much everything but the goals. Pretty much the rest was good.
It was an exciting game, everyone saw out passion. It's still a point and we know we have to improve but there's so much potential. It's a draw, it doesn't feel too good and we have to take it like it is. I'm not sure frustrated is the right word, it's not cool."
That's all from an exciting evening of football at Anfield where Liverpool will be gutted to not take three points into the next round of fixtures.
One last thing, here's five things we learned from the 2-2 draw:
