I am ready for the game!!” Left-back Benjamin Mendy made his first appearance for City following his £52 million ($67 million, €56.2 million) move from Monaco, having previously been sidelined by a thigh problem. Mendy’s former Monaco team-mate Bernardo Silva was awarded his first City start as Guardiola abandoned a back three and reverted to a 4-1-4-1 system. City won 2-0 at Brighton and Hove Albion in their opening game, before drawing 1-1 at home to Everton last Monday.
