Jeremy Doku - Starts, earns assist Doku assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 victory versus Ipswich Town.

Impact Doku would find the starting XI for the first time in league play this season Saturday, with the winger playing 77 minutes in the win. He would bag a goal contribution for a second straight league contest, finding Phil Foden in the 19th minute for an assist. The winger seems to have not missed a beat since returning from injury this season, already with a goal and an assist in his three league appearances (two starts).

Iliman Ndiaye - Notches league assist Ndiaye assisted once to go with four shots (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Ipswich Town.

Impact Ndiaye would bag an assist in UCL play Wednesday and would replicate this Saturday, finding Erling Haaland in the 69th minute for yet another assist. This is his first league goal contribution with City, giving him two in league play this season, as he recorded an assist with Everton before his move to City. He is still in search of his first goal, recording seven shots in his five appearances.

Gianluigi Donnarumma - Two conceded against Ipswich Donnarumma registered one save and allowed two goals in Saturday's 3-2 victory against Ipswich Town.

Impact Donnarumma would have a rough match Saturday for his standards, only saving one shot while allowing two past him in the win. This will keep the goalie at three clean sheets in his seven league appearances this season, on pace to match his 15 clean sheets from last season. He will now prepare for UCL action against AEK Athens on Tuesday before a return to league play against Aston Villa on Oct. 24.

Going bananas: Haaland keeps on scoring as scandal-hit Man City wins again in Premier League

The ongoing financial scandal enveloping Manchester City isn’t affecting the team’s results in the Premier League or Erling Haaland’s appetite for scoring goals

Phil Foden - Scores in win over Ipswich Foden scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), five crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Ipswich Town.

Impact Foden took advantage of a low cross from the left flank to fire a shot home from point-blank range to give City the lead. Foden was making his return to the XI after serving a three-game suspension following his red card in the derby against Manchester United. He'll compete with Antoine Semenyo (undisclosed), Jeremy Doku, Rayan Cherki and Ilman Ndiaye for playing time in the final third behind Erling Haaland.

Antoine Semenyo - Status uncertain Semenyo (undisclosed) is uncertain to play Tuesday against AEK Athens in the UEFA Champions League, manager Enzo Maresca said during the post-game press conference. "The only one w...

Impact Semenyo limped off the pitch at full time in Saturday's 3-2 win over Ipswich Town, and based on Maresca's words, further tests will be needed to determine whether he'll be available for the team's next games. The Cityzens are likely to rest several players for Tuesday's UCL match against AEK Athens, so it wouldn't be surprising if Semenyo were to be rested regardless of how the future tests come out.

Nico O'Reilly - Bothered by back injury O'Reilly played 61 minutes in Saturday's 2-1 win over Ipswich but seems to be bothered by a nagging back injury, manager Enzo Maresca said during the post-game press conference. "N...

Impact O'Reilly has been dealing with a back injury for quite some time, as Maresca referenced in the match against the Sky Blues on Aug. 28. O'Reilly hasn't played more than 66 minutes in any of his five club appearances since returning from the injury, and it remains to be seen whether he'll be fit enough to face AEK Athens on Tuesday in the Champions League -- a game in which City are expected to rotate the side considerably given the congested schedule.

Matheus Nunes - Not expected to miss time Nunes (undisclosed) is expected to be fine after leaving Saturday's' 2-1 win over Ipswich in the second half with a knock, manager Enzo Maresca said during the post-game press conf...

Impact Nunes departed the game in the second half, but based on Maresca's quotes, the right-back should be fine moving forward. Manchester City may rotate the XI for the match against AEK Athens on Tuesday, so Nunes might not return to the starting lineup until next Saturday, when City travel to Villa Park to take on Aston Villa.

Mateo Kovacic - Should be fine moving forward Kovacic (knock) is expected to be fine after leaving Saturday's' 2-1 win over Ipswich in the second half with a knock, manager Enzo Maresca said during the post-game press conferen...

Impact Based on Maresca's assessment, it seems Kovacic should be available moving forward. The start against Ipswich was his first of the season, and between his reduced role and the knock he sustained, it's unclear whether he'd be an option to start against AEK Athens on Tuesday in the UCL league phase.

Erling Haaland - Fine after Ipswich game Haaland (foot) was seen limping after Saturday's win over Ipswich Town, but he's not dealing with injury, manager Enzo Maresca said during the post-game press conference. "Erling...

Impact Based on Maresca's words, Haaland should be fine moving forward. The forward is widely expected to be rested for Tuesday's match against AEK Athens in the UEFA Champions League, and if that's the case, he should be fine to face Aston Villa next Saturday, Oct. 24. Haaland is enjoying an excellent start to the 2026/27 campaign with 12 goals in nine appearances between the EPL and the UCL.

Antoine Semenyo - Seen limping at full-time Semenyo was limping as he left the pitch at full-time of Saturday's 3-2 win over Ipswich Town, per Sam Lee.

Impact Semenyo looked slightly uncomfortable after the final whistle against Ipswich Town, though he did not head for the tunnel as quickly as Erling Haaland. The winger's condition should become clearer once Enzo Maresca gives an update.

Erling Haaland - Limping after brace vs. Ipswich Haaland (foot) was limping heavily as he left the pitch at full-time of Saturday's 3-2 win over Ipswich Town after taking a knock to his foot, per Sam Lee.

Impact Haaland scored in the 34th and 69th minutes of Saturday's 3-2 win over Ipswich Town but left the pitch with a heavy limp at full-time after taking a knock to his foot. Enzo Maresca had already flagged the striker as a candidate for rest, and he is expected to sit out Tuesday's Champions League match against AEK Athens. Manchester City will hope he is fit to lead the line against Aston Villa next Saturday, though an update on the knock is still awaited.

Matheus Nunes - Forced off against Ipswich Nunes was forced off with an injury in the second half of Saturday's Premier League match against Ipswich and was replaced by Abdukodir Khusanov

Impact Nunes is set to be assessed after being unable to continue at the Etihad, with Khusanov coming on in a double change that also saw Elliot Anderson replace Phil Foden. His availability should become clearer once the club's medical staff have examined him.

Mateo Kovacic - Forced off with knock Saturday Kovacic was forced off with a knock during Saturday's Premier League match against Ipswich Town and was replaced by Enzo Fernandez, according to the club.

Impact Kovacic's afternoon ended early when a knock forced him off and Fernandez replaced him in midfield. He had been recalled to the starting lineup as part of Maresca's rotation after the midweek loss to Paris Saint-Germain, and his assessment over the coming days will determine whether he is available for City's next match.

Real Madrid Magic And Drama In Manchester: What Stood Out With Europe's Top Clubs

Phil Foden - Ready for return, could start Foden is available for Saturday's match against Ipswich Town after serving his suspension and could return to the starting XI, though that is not guaranteed, according to manager E...

Impact Foden made a strong start to the campaign as a regular in the side early on with five starts across the first six games of the season and had two assists to his name before his red card at Manchester United cut that momentum short. He served a three game ban and was unused against PSG on his return to the squad, but coach Enzo Maresca says he has been training well. With City facing a packed schedule, Foden is likely to see some starts, and that could begin as early as Saturday against Ipswich as he looks to rediscover his form. His ability to play as a number 10 or out wide makes him a valuable option, though with City's attacking ranks now fully stocked, securing a permanent starting spot is unlikely.
