Team news: Jesus returns to face former club

Gabriel Jesus is back in the starting XI for our trip to the Etihad Stadium, in our only change to the side that beat FC Porto in a dramatic penalty shootout 19 days ago.

The Brazilian faces his former side, and could well start on the left with Leandro Trossard dropping down to the bench.

Otherwise the team is unchanged from our last game, 19 days ago. That means that Bukayo Saka, who missed England’s two games in the international break, is fit to start. As is Brazilian defender Gabriel, who was also unavailable for international duty.
