Ruben Amorim’s final Sporting team for a home game features two changes from the team that made it six wins in a row against Estrela on Friday. Former Coventry striker Viktor Gyokeres has scored 20 goals in all competitions this season. He is partnered in attack by Trincao, who had a one-year loan at Wolves in 2021-22.

Sporting XI: Israel, Debast, Diomande, Matheus Reis, Geovany Quenda, Hjulmand, Morita, Araujo, Trincao, Gyokeres, Gonclaves.

Substitutes:
Kovacevic, Diogo Pinto, St Juste, Edwards, Harder, Catamo, Fresneda, Braganca, Esgaio, Simoes, Quaresma.

Jahmai Simpson-Pusey makes his Champions League debut and starts his first senior game for Manchester City.

Simpson-Pusey only turned 19 yesterday but will get his chances with Nathan Ake on the bench and Ruben Dias not involved at all. It is one of three changes to the side’s win at Bournemouth on Saturday. Rico Lewis replaces Kyle Walker and Savinho comes on for Ilkay Gundogan as City look to avoid a third straight defeat.

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Lewis, Simpson-Pusey, Akanji, Gvardiol, Kovacic, Bernardo, Savinho, Foden, Nunes, Haaland.

Substitutes: Ortega, Carson, Walker, Ake, Doku, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Wright, O’Reilly, McAtee, Wilson-Esbrand.
