Man City fans make one change as they pick starting XI vs Inter Milan for Champions League final

Manchester City fans want to see Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish start this evening against Inter Milan in the Champions League final.

City have travelled to Istanbul to take on Inter in the final of Europe's elite club competition. Pep Guardiola's side are seeking to claim the Champions League for the first time in the club's history.

The Premier League title and FA Cup have already been secured and now only the Champions League trophy remains.

Guardiola has a fully-fit squad to choose from for the encounter. After initial fears over defender Kyle Walker, the former Tottenham Hotspur man has been included in the travelling party, meaning Guardiola will have to make some difficult decisions on Saturday evening.

Supporters want to see only one change from the side Guardiola selected for last weekend's 2-1 FA Cup final win over Manchester United at Wembley. Fans want to see Ederson return after Stefan Ortega was chosen by Guardiola for the final.

The defence fans want to see includes John Stones and Ruben Dias at the heart of the back four. Walker starts at right-back while Manuel Akanji again fills in at left-back.

In midfield fans have picked Rodri to shield the defence. Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan start alongside him, with the latter potentially playing his final game for the club with his contract situation still up in the air.

City fans want Guardiola to keep faith with the same attacking trio that led the team to victory over United. That means they want to see Bernardo on the right, Grealish on the left and Haaland through the middle.

The Manchester City starting XI fans want to see vs Inter Milan: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Stones, Akanji; Gundogan, Rodri, De Bruyne; Bernardo, Haaland, Grealish.
