Latest team news for Monaco vs Man City
Man City have suffered no further injuries following their win against Burnley, but Rodri's return is still uncertain due to a knee problem. Guardiola is still without Abdukodir Khusanov (ankle), Rayan Ait-Nouri (unclear), Omar Marmoush (knee), and Rayan Cherki (thigh, expected to recover in November).
Star player Haaland continues to be the center of attention after scoring a brace and providing an assist last weekend. He is preparing to play his 50th Champions League match and has scored 50 goals in 49 games – an unprecedented record.
On Monaco's side, Paul Pogba may not be ready for his dream debut against Man City, needing a few more weeks to regain his fitness. Coach Adi Hutter is also without Lamine Camara (ankle), Denis Zakaria (groin), Aleksandr Golovin (hamstring), and first-choice goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky (knee). Kehrer is suspended in Ligue 1 but is still available for the Champions League.
Ansu Fati – on loan from Barcelona – is impressing with 4 goals in 3 appearances as a substitute. With this form, the chances of him being given a starting spot at Etihad are very high.

Latest football match prediction: Monaco vs Man City
Man City turned Kevin De Bruyne's return to Manchester with Napoli into a bitter memory. Taking advantage of captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo's early red card – an incident that also forced De Bruyne to leave the field – Pep Guardiola's team easily defeated the Serie A champions 2-0.
Although Napoli held out until the end of the first half, Erling Haaland's familiar goal opened the scoring for the home side at the Etihad Stadium, before Jeremy Doku sealed the victory. With consistent form, Man City have now lost only 3 of their last 21 Champions League group stage matches and have scored in 28 of their last 30 European Cup games.
The victory against Napoli was also part of "The Citizens'" five-match unbeaten run, including four wins, most recently a 5-1 demolition of Burnley in the Premier League after easily overcoming Huddersfield in the League Cup. The disappointing 1-1 draw against Arsenal – where Guardiola's "bus" was breached in the final minutes – was the only blemish. However, their weakness lies in their away record in the Champions League, with a run of four consecutive defeats.
Monaco, on the other hand, had a forgettable start. In their opening match, they suffered a humiliating 1-4 defeat against Club Brugge. Maghnes Akliouche's missed penalty in the 10th minute opened the door to a nightmare: Monaco's defense was torn apart three times in the first half and conceded a fourth goal in the 75th minute. Ansu Fati's late goal was merely a consolation.
That defeat extended Monaco's run to five losses in their last seven Champions League matches. They then beat Metz 5-2 in Ligue 1 but then succumbed to a 1-3 defeat against Lorient after Thilo Kehrer received an early red card. With 24 goals scored and conceded in their last five matches (an average of nearly five goals per game), a repeat of the thrilling clash with Man City in 2016-17 (a 6-6 draw over two legs, with Monaco progressing on the away goals rule) is entirely possible.
