Pep Guardiola can afford to make changes to his side who welcome Sevilla to the Etihad already through to the next round.

That gives Guardiola the benefit of being able to field a changed side, and place priority on Saturday’s Premier League game against Fulham. The group is more or less done and dusted - unless anything extraordinary happens, Guardiola’s team will finish as champions of the group, Dortmund second, Sevilla third and Copenhagen fourth. Regardless of tonight’s result, Guardiola’s team are already through to the next round.

Manchester City host Sevilla in the Champions League on Wednesday evening and we've simulated the game to predict the final score.

Rodri's powerful clearance was blocked by Kasper Dolberg, with the ball ricocheting off the striker, past Ortega and into the net. Guardiola's side were made to pay for their missed chances in the 93rd minute as the visitors took the lead in bizarre fashion to claim three points. A corner taken short saw Mahrez and Cole Palmer exchange passes, allowing the Algerian to break into the box. The last meeting between City and Sevilla ended 4-0 for Guardiola's side, with goals from Phil Foden, Ruben Dias and an Erling Haaland brace securing the win in game week one. Manchester United loanee Alex Telles was found on the overlap for Sevilla, floating a cross towards the back post. City had been in control throughout, but an error from Stefan Ortega handed the visitors the lead 70 minutes in.

Man City vs Sevilla LIVE Champions League updates (Manchester Evening News)

Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side conclude their Champions League group stage tonight with a visit from Sevilla.

With Sevilla already guaranteed to finish third in the group and drop down into the Europa League, there is nothing riding on Wednesday's meeting. There's a nice flavour of youth in the City team tonight with Rico Lewis and Cole Palmer joining Phil Foden as academy graduates in the XI. Sergio Gomez is a logical starter here, and he did alright in the reverse fixture. Curiously, though, Borges played in the U19’s Youth League win over Sevilla this afternoon, coming off the bench for 35 minutes. Even with so many changes, City will be confident of beating a Sevilla side who have only won three in 17 games this season. He’s back today so will be looking to have more of a positive impact on proceedings in this final game The players are out to warm-up and have been for 5-10 minutes but there was no sign of Kevin De Bruyne until just now, who must have been late out of the dressing room.

The Belgian arrived at the Etihad, and he’s on the bench, but there’s absolutely no reason to bring him on tonight. Riyad Mahrez hasn’t had a particularly enjoyable Champions League so far this season after playing a starring role in the last two European campaigns. [City](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/manchester-city-fc) have won three and drawn two of their matches so far, conceding just one goal.

Manchester City - Sevilla live online: Mahrez goal, summary, stats ... (AS English)

After scoring 35 goals in their first 9 matches (which by my maths is around 4 per game), they have *only* scored 4 goals in their most recent five games; let's ...

Basically, for City to have the ball. There’s nothing concrete on the line in tonight’s match but that’s not to say it isn’t shaping up to be a cracker. The goal came after great work from Rafa Mir, who's been a first-class nuisance for the City defence and his header was well worked and much-deserved. All he has for protection is a mixture of a cardigan and a coat. City have definitely upped the tempo but Sevilla are hanging on and breaking well from time to time. City started well, trying to control possession from the first minute. And the lad looks rightly delighted. The corner is taken and it finds Bernardo Silva on the left. The pass was typical KDB gorgeousness - a flat, early cross that only Julián Álvarez was able to reach and I think the striker has silenced his critics there. Julián Álvarez was the subject of conversation in the days building up to the game given Haaland's absence and I think he definitely quietened the naysayers. So much quality and awareness here from the Argentinian. So, in the end, the solid Sevilla start wasn't enough to see them pick up points at the Etihad.

Man City 3-1 Sevilla: Rico Lewis makes Champions League history ... (Sky Sports)

Match report as academy graduate Rico Lewis lights up the Etihad Stadium with equalising goal; Julian Alvarez and Riyad Mahrez make the game safe after Rafa ...

In the second half with Sergio Gomez on the left and Rico Lewis on the right we felt we had more presence in the final third. The guys that want to stay here and fight for their position, they have a chance. Alvarez had been making some fine runs in behind the Sevilla centre-backs all evening but no one possessed the vision to find him until De Bruyne picked up the ball on the halfway line and spun a sensational ball in behind that he latched onto. That allowed the two City full-backs to play more as wingers rather than inverted midfielders and it was Lewis - born in 2004 - that grabbed the equaliser. It was really poor defending from City's point of view as Mir was left in three yards of space from an Isco corner to loop a header into the far corner. Alvarez then grabbed his second assist of the night when setting up Riyad Mahrez to make the game safe as City finished top of Group G.

Man City may have exposed two transfer priorities with Sevilla ... (Manchester Evening News)

Manchester City beat Sevilla in the Champions League on Wednesday thanks to a second-half comeback inspired by key men coming off the bench.

If this was meant to be a chance for Gomez to redeem his Copenhagen red card, he didn't take it, and it would be a surprise to see him again before the World Cup. Surely the plan will have been to use Josh Wilson-Esbrand as a replacement for Lewis, though, with a bit of a defensive reshuffle. Likewise, Sergio Gomez's disappointing night proved the need for full-back to be an area of interest in the coming transfer windows. Foden's future may lie in midfield, and he arguably played better there against Sevilla than he has done previously, however Wednesday's game highlighted the need for a quality midfield reinforcement as one of the next transfer priorities. Pep Guardiola may not have wanted to use any of those players, but they undoubtedly changed the game and proved their importance to the Blues. Rafa Mir's opener for the Spaniard's barely mustered a response from the Etihad crowd more focussed on shielding from the rain and there was no spark to ignite a flat atmosphere.
