Manchester City is gearing up to face Luton Town in the FA Cup, and we have made predictions about the potential lineup for the match. Pep Guardiola is expected to make five changes to the team that secured a 1-0 victory against AFC Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.

In our predicted lineup, we foresee Stefan Ortega replacing Ederson Moraes in goal, given Ortega’s start in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup. Kyle Walker is likely to come in at right-back instead of John Stones, who might be rested due to concerns about his fitness.

Manuel Akanji could take Stones’ place as the left-sided center-back, partnering with Ruben Dias. Nathan Ake is expected to retain his spot at left-back. Despite Pep Guardiola’s comments about Josko Gvardiol’s return to fitness, we believe he may not start the game.

Mateo Kovacic could replace Rodri in the midfield, with Rico Lewis also featuring in that area. Phil Foden might be rested, with Kevin De Bruyne taking his place. Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland could feature on the wings, with Jeremy Doku replacing Matheus Nunes on the left.

The predicted lineup for Manchester City against Luton Town includes Ortega, Walker, Dias, Akanji, Ake, Kovacic, De Bruyne, Lewis, Bernardo Silva, Haaland, and Doku. With the Manchester Derby on the horizon, Guardiola’s lineup choices will be crucial for success in the FA Cup.
