Hello and welcome to the live text commentary for Manchester City's Champions League clash with Sevilla at Etihad Stadium.
City come into this one sitting at the top of Champions League Group G. They've taken eleven points from their opening five games and have already qualified for the next phase of the competition as group winners due to their superior head-to-head record over Borussia Dortmund. Pep Guardiola's side, however, will be keen to close out the campaign in style.
Sevilla are in a slightly less celebratory spot. The Spanish side are third in Champions League Group G having taken five points from their opening five games and, no matter what happens in the final matchday, that's where they'll be staying. Their head-to-head record is better than fourth-placed Copenhagen and inferior to third-placed Dortmund.
City have made five changes from the side that drew with Dortmund. Lewis, Laporte and Gomez have replaced Stones, Ake and Cancelo in defence, Palmer has come in for Rodri in midfield and Grealish has replaced Erling Haaland up front.
Sevilla have made six changes from the team that beat Copenhagen. Bono has replaced Dmitrovic in goal, Carmona, Rekik and Acuna have come in for Gudelj, Jordan and Telles in defence, Delaney has replaced Suso in midfield and Mir has come in for Dolberg up front.
The danger for Sevilla, however, lies in the attacking options that Guardiola has sitting on his bench. The longer the second half goes on the more tired the Spanish side's legs will grow - that could be dangerous should Guardiola then turn to the heavy artillery he has waiting in reserve.
Thanks for joining the live text commentary for this game. Until next time, goodbye.
City can now look forward to a place in the last 16, which they enter as group winners and will therefore be seeded in the draw. Sevilla, however, are headed for the Europa League after finishing third in Group G.
