Manchester City fans want Pep Guardiola to make three changes to the team that lost the Community Shield for Friday's match against Burnley.
City were beaten on penalties by Arsenal after a 1-1 draw in normal time. Leandro Trossard scored in the dying seconds to prevent City from winning the match.
Since, City have signed Josko Gvardiol from RB Leipzig for big money. He could make his Premier League debut with Guardiola declaring the centre-back available to play.
Nathan Ake is also back in contention. Otherwise, Guardiola is selecting from the same group of players.

One unsurprising change would be the return of Ederson, who is expected to take the gloves from Stefan Ortega. City fans want their number one in goal for the season opener, understandably.
Across defence, City have options. Kyle Walker or Manuel Akanji could make way for Gvardiol or Ake, with John Stones and Ruben Dias likely to start.
City fans want to see Walker stay but it's Ake who is preferred to Gvardiol. Despite his eye-catching fee, the Croatian could have to wait his turn to start.
Rodri and summer signing Mateo Kovacic remain in midfield but Kevin De Bruyne is recalled to join them. Julian Alvarez is the man to miss out on a starting spot having struggled to make much of an impact during Sunday's loss to the Gunners.
Up front, fans want to see the trusted trio of Bernardo Silva, Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland. The latter will be hoping to open his league account for the season at the earliest possible stage, having bagged a sensational 36 league goals last term.
