Thus, Real Madrid legend Marcelo as well as Premier League transfer target Andre will both start against the Cityzens in Jeddah. Fluminense predicted lineup vs Man City (4-2-3-1): Fabio; Xavier, Nino, Melo, Marcelo; Andre, Martinelli; Arias, Ganso, Keno; Cano. Friday's final will be laden with tactical intrigue given Diniz's reputation of developing 'appositional play' which contrast Guardiola's more rigid ideals in possession.

Matheus Nunes and Mateo Kovacic both impressed last time out so could retain their places. Ruben Dias could also be recalled to the starting lineup. Man City predicted lineup vs Fluminense (3-2-4-1): Ederson; Walker, Dias, Ake; Rodri, Stones; Bernardo, Foden, Nunes, Grealish; Alvarez. Diniz has a full cohort of players available for Friday's final and he likely won't make any changes to the side that beat Al Ahly 2-0 on Monday.
