WE AIN’T GOT NO HISTORY
It’s not been a happy winter for either of these two teams, but a win here would be an important boost for any top-four hopes. You might even say that this could be a season-defining result, especially with Bournemouth and Newcastle both winning easily at the moment. We could be down to seventh with a loss.
Accordingly, Enzo Maresca has chosen his best-available lineup, with both Levi Colwill and Enzo Fernández passed fit. João Félix is not in the squad as he’s been granted compassionate leave following a family bereavement.
New signings Marmoush and Khusanov both start for City.
Here we go!
