Ruben Dias - Everyday starter Dias has started all but one match this season, and continues to anchor the backline.

Impact Dias is one of the most trusted center-backs in the Premier League. He is the leader of the City defense and is one of the first names on the team sheet every week. He's showing no signs of slowing down, and barring injury, he's undroppable. Dias is one of the most consistent defensive options in the English top flight.

Ayyoub Bouaddi - Earning chances early Bouaddi has made eight appearances in all competitions since joining Manchester City.

Impact Bouaddi was brought in as a big money reinforcement for the center of the park and he's earned the trust of his manager quickly. Bouaddi has made eight appearances in all competitions, including three starts. The midfielder hasn't quite taken over a starting job, but he's rocketing up the depth chart and is showing every bit of talent that made him one of the brightest young stars in France.

Rico Lewis - Fallen out of favor Lewis has started just once since opening the season as the starting right-back.

Impact Lewis has made just two starts this season, and assisted twice. Despite that good return he's still fallen almost entirely out of favor. He's been on the bench in most matches, but has appeared just twice in the Premier League. Injuries could always change things, but for now it seems that Lewis will be a deep depth option for the foreseeable future.

Rayan Ait-Nouri - Still not trusted Ait-Nouri has been left out of the squad entirely in two of the last three matches.

Impact Ait-Nouri was told publicly by manager Enzo Maresca that he was facing an uphill battle for playing time, and that has been the case entirely for the defender. He's not even being selected for the bench in some cases, as he has fallen totally out of favor. It appears he would need multiple injuries at left-back to move into a starting job.

Mateo Kovacic - Getting limited chances Kovacic has made just a single start this season and is being left on the bench more than not.

Impact Kovacic hasn't gotten a chance to play much this season, appearing just three times in the Premier League. The midfielder was always going to be a depth option during this season, but it appears he's not going to get many chances. Any sort of injury issues could open the door for a larger role for the veteran though.

Abdukodir Khusanov - Left out of Uzbekistan squad Khusanov (undisclosed) has been omitted from Uzbekistan's squad for the upcoming international friendlies against Russia and Saudi Arabia to follow a recovery process with Manchest...

Impact Khusanov's exclusion comes despite the defender completing the full 90 minutes during Saturday's 3-1 Premier League defeat against Nottingham Forest, suggesting his fitness is being managed. The 22-year-old has featured regularly in Manchester City's starting lineup recently, alternating between center-back and right-back across the last three league matches while contributing two crosses and one chance created against Forest. Uzbekistan coach Fabio Cannavaro has opted to prioritize the defender's recovery rather than involve him in the November international fixtures, although the exact nature of his ongoing physical issue remains unclear. Khusanov will remain at City's training facilities during the break, allowing the club to monitor his condition ahead of the resumption of domestic competition.

Josko Gvardiol - Fit for Croatia duty Gvardiol (undisclosed) is available for Croatia's upcoming Nations League clash against England on Thursday after recovering from the issue that forced him off during Manchester Ci...

Impact Gvardiol was replaced by Nico O'Reilly at halftime of Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Nottingham Forest after experiencing physical discomfort that had already affected him during the preceding week. Manchester City coach Enzo Maresca had acknowledged the defender's fitness concerns without specifying the nature of the problem, raising doubts about his availability for international duty. However, coach Bilic has now confirmed that the Croatian defender is fit to participate in the upcoming fixtures, suggesting the issue was not serious enough to prevent him from joining the national team. Gvardiol should therefore be available for Thursday's encounter against England at Wembley and Sunday's home clash against Czechia, barring any further setbacks.

Matheus Nunes - Bench role during loss Nunes had two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 loss versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Nunes was moved to the bench for Saturday's contest, only playing 45 minutes. He would still get some decent work in, as the defender recorded two chances created and two crosses in the attack to go along with one clearance and three tackles in the defense. He has started in five of his seven appearances this campaign, looking to be their starter at right-back between his injuries.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Abdukodir Khusanov - Continues as starter Khusanov generated two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest.

Impact Khusanov continues in the starting XI for City, with the defender alternating between center-back and right-back over the past three league matches. However, it has been tough sledding for a typically stingy City defense, going without a clean sheet during that span. Between injuries and rotation, the Uzbek defender should see plenty of time.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jeremy Doku - Completes three dribbles Doku had one shot (zero on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Doku would not have his best match as City lost, recording only three crosses and one shot in his 90 minutes of play. This would be followed by only three of his eight dribbles being completed, not a typical performance from the Belgian. It has now been three straight matches since his last goal contribution in league play.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Phil Foden - Appears from bench again Foden had two shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 loss against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Foden would appear for 12 minutes Saturday, with the attacker falling to a bench role for a third straight league appearance. He would do little in the limited time on the field, recording two shots, but neither was on target. This is despite scoring a goal in his last league start.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Enzo Fernandez - Whips in seven crosses Fernandez generated two shots (zero on goal), seven crosses (two accurate) and six corners in Saturday's 3-1 loss against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Fernandez would have a decent match in the midfield despite the loss for City on Saturday, with the midfielder recording one chance created, two shots and seven crosses. However, this is now a fifth straight match without a goal contribution for the midfielder, remaining with one goal and no assists in eight appearances (seven starts) with City this season.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Erling Haaland - Four shots, no goal Haaland generated four shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 defeat versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Haaland would do his best to find the back of the net Saturday, but was unable to, with all four of his shots being saved or off target. This remains a rare occurrence for the Norwegian, one of the best goal scorers in the world. That said, he remains with nine goals in 10 league appearances (10 starts) this season.

Rayan Cherki - Nets City's lone goal Cherki scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 3-1 defeat versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Cherki would have the one bright spot for City in a rough loss Saturday, as the midfielder scored a goal in the 52nd minute. This is the playmaker's fifth goal of the league season, recording two assists as well in his nine apperances (seven starts). He remains one of their top players when on the field, averaging a goal contribution every start.

Gianluigi Donnarumma - Allows three against Nottingham Donnarumma had two saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-1 defeat versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Donnarumma would have a rough match Saturday as City fell to Nottingham, with the goalie allowing three goals while only making two saves. This continues his streak without a clean sheet, something the Italian isn't used to, now without a clean sheet between his last seven UCL and league appearances. He will use the international break to get his head right again, set to resume play against Fulham on Nov. 21.

Marc Guehi - Withdraws from England squad Guehi has withdrawn from England's squad for the November international break after suffering a hip injury during Saturday's Premier League defeat against Nottingham Forest, with D...

Impact Guehi was forced off at halftime against Nottingham Forest after experiencing discomfort in his hip, an issue that had reportedly been troubling him for several weeks. The Manchester City defender was scheduled to undergo a scan Sunday to assess the severity of the problem, although the results have not been disclosed. His withdrawal rules him out of England's upcoming Nations League fixtures against Croatia and Spain, allowing him additional time to recover ahead of the return of domestic competition. Guehi's availability following the international break remains uncertain, with Abdukodir Khusanov potentially benefiting from additional starting opportunities alongside Ruben Dias if the defender remains sidelined.

Impact Guehi requested to be substituted at halftime against Nottingham Forest after experiencing discomfort in his hip, an issue that has reportedly troubled him for several weeks. The defender will undergo further examinations to determine the severity of the problem before a decision is made regarding his participation in England's Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain. His availability following the international break remains uncertain and will depend on the scan results. If Guehi is forced to miss additional matches, Abdukodir Khusanov could step into the starting lineup alongside Ruben Dias in central defense.

Josko Gvardiol - Forced off against Nottingham Gvardiol left the field after the first half of Saturday's 3-1 loss to Nottingham Forest due to an undisclosed injury, about which coach Enzo Maresca commented that "Gvardiol had s...

Impact Gvardiol's status is unclear without further information about the blow, but he could hope to avoid a club absence, possibly missing only national team action in the upcoming international break. He was playing as a left-back and was replaced by Nico O'Reilly on Saturday. Losing the Croatian would be a significant blow for the Citizens, so they'll likely be careful with his recovery if the injury is serious.

Marc Guehi - Exits at halftime with injury Guehi was subbed off at halftime in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Nottingham Forest due to an injury, with manager Enzo Maresca saying Saturday that the defender asked to come off.

Impact Guehi has been one of the most active members of a constant defensive rotation, which could lose his contribution if he's dealing with a significant problem. Luckily for him if the injury is minor, the international break should give him plenty of time to recover. Any concern for Guehi would be notable for Manchester City's back line given his regular role. Still, the nature and severity of the issue remain undisclosed. All of Josko Gvardiol, Ruben Dias and Abdukodir Khusanov could be able to operate in central spots if the English international is sidelined at some point.

3 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Rayan Cherki - Scores in loss to Forest Cherki scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 3-1 defeat against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Cherki pulled one back for City just seven minutes into the second half with an unstoppable shot from the edge of the area and into the roof of the net. The goal wasn't enough to turn things around, but it allowed Cherki to continue his strong start to the season. He has five goals and two assists in nine EPL appearances this season.
