The Citizens will also be without John Stones who is currently nursing a hip problem at the start of the season.

Sevilla have no injury concerns to report and it is expected that they will name a full fit team featuring the likes of Lucas Ocamps, Ivan Rakitic and former City star Jesus Navas.

Who is the favourite to win the game?

Manchester City are the hot favourites for victory in their first ever Super Cup appearance as they look to add a new honour to their trophy cabinet.

Sevilla have an excellent European record which has seen them lift a record-breaking seven Europa League titles, but they have only won one of their seven finals in the Super Cup. The Spanish giants last won the competition in 2006 when they defeated Frank Rijkaard’s Barcelona 3-0.

Man City also have a vastly superior head to head record and they recorded comprehensive 3-1 and 4-0 victories over Sevilla in the Champions League group stage last season.

Pep Guardiola’s side enter the game high on confidence after a routine 3-0 victory over Premier League new boys Burnley, while Sevilla started the season with a disappointing 2-1 loss at home to Valencia.

SkyBet have priced Man City as 1/3 favourites to win the game in 90 minutes, while Sevilla are priced at 15/2. A draw between the two sides is priced at 17/4.
