Vincent Kompany sets his team up in a 4-2-3-1 base and aims to keep possession. His side does similar stuff to Pep Guardiola with an overload in the middle, allowing the wide players to get space, although they do tend to use more quick combos and one-twos in the box than the Cityzens.

Kim Min-jae remains sidelined even though he travelled with the squad. Fellow defender Hiroki Ito is also out. Tarek Buchmann was left out of the selection for the group phase due to his own fitness issues.
