Nine starters 'confirmed' for Madrid?

Pep Guardiola insisted that he wouldn't think about the trip to Real Madrid on Tuesday before Manchester City had recorded a vital win against Leeds, but his teamsheet suggested differently. Jack Grealish was dropped for the first time in 12 league games, Ruben Dias for the first time in 15, and Rodri had started the last 25 Premier League fixtures.

Also rested were Kyle Walker, John Stones and Bernardo Silva, and all seven are presumably in line to start at the Bernabeu in the Champions League after a rest. Ederson, Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland would all surely start, too, leaving just two starting spots to play for on Tuesday.
