The likes of Jeremy Doku and Savinho did not impress, and as a result, there is a possibility that space will be available for players like as Phil Foden and Jack Grealish. As Rodri returns to training, Mateo Kovacic may be unable to participate owing to an injury, despite the fact that it is not anticipated that the winner of the Ballon d'Or will be present on Tuesday. It came as a surprise when Rico Lewis and James McAtee were not present at Wembley Stadium with the England team. Team news This is of the utmost importance. For the last thirteen, fourteen, or fifteen years, we have longed to be a part of the Champions League. If we are not able to achieve this goal, we will be placed in the Europa League instead; we do not merit this honor. And that is it. The last home game for the squad will also be visited by Kevin De Bruyne. Pep Guardiola has stated that the midfielder would be given what he deserves in the event that he is asked if he would start after playing a full game against Palace on Saturday. \"We want to win the game so we can qualify for the Champions League next season – this is what Kevin wants, it cannot be otherwise,\" said Guardiola in his statement.Having briefly fallen out of the top five, City will be able to regain their position as third place in the Premier League if they win during the midweek match. This is their third match against Bournemouth this season, despite the fact that it is their first match at the Etihad Stadium. Due to the fact that City was victorious in the FA Cup quarterfinals, they were able to extract retribution for their league setback that occurred on the southern coast. The current series is now tied at 1–1. Should the Cherries finish the Premier League season in ninth place, they will be guaranteed a position in the Conference League, but only under certain conditions. This is because the Cherries are still in the process of resolving their European issue. As a result of the events that transpired over the weekend, Andoni Iraola's team is currently ranked eleventh in the rankings and is targeting their very first victory away from home against City.
