Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has explained why he has made three changes to face AFC Bournemouth on Saturday evening.
Guardiola opted to rotate his side following the draw with RB Leipzig in midweek. Rico Lewis, Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez returned to the line-up ahead of Bernardo Silva, Riyad Mahrez and Kyle Walker - who all dropped down to the bench for the Premier League tie.
It had been hinted that Kevin De Bruyne may be fit enough to return to the starting line-up after missing the midweek Champions League trip to Germany with illness but he was only fit enough for the bench.
