Here we offer our suggestions on how the squad should look.

think he won’t play Bukayo Saka and Phil Foden in the wide positions.

Gordon gets the nod over Jack Grealish, who if left at home will be the headline omission despite a relatively poor season for Manchester City.

Our squad:

Pickford, Ramsdale, Henderson; Walker, Trippier, Stones, Maguire, Guehi, Gomez, Dunk, Branthwaite, Shaw; Alexander-Arnold, Bellingham, Gallagher, Mainoo, Rice, Wharton; Bowen, Eze, Foden, Gordon, Palmer, Saka, Watkins, Kane
