Man City

4-3-3 TEAM AVERAGE 6.5

CLAUDIO BRAVO

Confident with his hands and feet to cap a positive pre-season. Made crucial saves even before the shootout.

KYLE WALKER

Full-blooded performance and one that Walker needed with the signing of Joao Cancelo from Juventus expected this week.

JOHN STONES

A couple of stray passes and nervous moments but dealing with Firmino will have done wonders for his confidence.

NICOLAS OTAMENDI

Only back from the Copa America last week. Seemed to tire as the game went on and his focus suffered.

OLEKSANDR ZINCHENKO

Struggled to cope with Salah, allowing the Egyptian in behind too often. Still work to do defensively.

KEVIN DE BRUYNE

The swagger has returned with a vengeance and De Bruyne is one who can carry teams through sticky patches.

RODRI

Probably needs to play with more conviction but the signs are good. Decent use of possession and sound positional sense.

DAVID SILVA

He is being asked by Guardiola to go and join the front three far more often. Took up some good positions in attack.

BERNARDO SILVA

Industrious but without the finesse he displayed in the final third of last season. Only showed glimpses of his best.

RAHEEM STERLING

Mixed day. Good early finish to give City the lead, although later fluffed his lines when clean through on goal at 1-0.

LEROY SANE

Looked really lively until forced off injured in the 13th minute. Will that scupper a move away from the Etihad?
