Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Ederson will be returning to the starting side for their upcoming Premier League match against Luton Town. The Sky Blues have the opportunity to move to the top of the league table with a win, as they are currently just one point behind Arsenal and Liverpool. City’s current unbeaten run of 26 games includes a 3-3 draw with Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League and a 2-4 win against Crystal Palace in the Premier League.

Kevin De Bruyne’s brace against Crystal Palace and stunning goals from Phil Foden and Josko Gvardiol in the Real Madrid draw showcase City’s attacking prowess. Erling Haaland scored five goals in the previous meeting with Luton Town, and both Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva found the back of the net in the reverse fixture. Despite some absences in the starting lineup, Guardiola is confident in Ederson’s return to goalkeeping duties against Luton Town.

Guardiola expressed his confidence in Ederson’s readiness to play and his return to the starting lineup is a boost for City, especially with concerns over the fitness of other key players like Kyle Walker and Rodri. Stefan Ortega, who has been filling in for Ederson, is expected to return to the bench for the upcoming match. Guardiola emphasized Ederson’s importance as the first-choice goalkeeper for City and his availability signals a positive development for the team.
