Manchester City supporters want to see some of the club's exciting youth prospects given a chance against Sporting.
City are all-but guaranteed a spot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League after they hammered their opponents 5-0 in the opening leg of the last 16 tie in Lisbon three weeks ago. With such an advantage it's likely that most of the scorers from that game will get the evening off — and fans hope that Pep Guardiola will give some starlets a chance on the big stage.
The Blues boss may well be forced into doing so as he only has 14 senior players available for the game and one of them — Kevin De Bruyne — is just a booking away from suspension, so is unlikely to be involved. Guardiola is especially low on options in defence, with Kyle Walker suspended and Joao Cancelo, Ruben Dias, and Nathan Ake all unavailable.
