MCI vs SHF Dream11 | Team News
Manchester City
Ederson was sent off against Wolves and serves a one-match-ban as Claudio Bravo keeps between the sticks in the upcoming fixture. Sergio Aguero was taken off for an extra defender as a result of the sending off but should once again be starting here. Phil Foden, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Ilkay Gudogan will be pushing for starts against Sheffield. David Silva’s inclusion remains in doubt, while Aymeric Laporte, Leroy Sane and John Stones are ruled out due to injuries.
Sheffield United
Back up goalkeeper Simon Moore is the only injury concern for the Blades. Chris Wilder should persist with the same eleven which he’s going with in the last couple of games.
