Manchester City - Naples: De Bruyne's big return to England
The Champions League season kicks off for a flagging Manchester City side. Pep Guardiola's men are no longer as dominant as they once were and are entering a new European campaign with almost no confidence. With two defeats in four games this season, the Sky Blues regained some hope last weekend with a resounding 3-0 victory over Manchester United.
Napoli, on the other hand, are not lacking in confidence. The Italian club has been winning nothing but victories since the start of the season. Three games and three wins for the Neapolitans, who are setting a nice pace at the top of the Serie A standings. But the Champions League is a completely different competition, and this trip to Manchester is a real first test this season for Antonio Conte's players.

What are the likely lineups for Manchester City - Naples?Pep Guardiola is facing several setbacks. The Manchester coach cannot count on Aït-Nouri or Cherki, both of whom are injured. Marmoush and Stones will also be missing. However, former PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma is expected to make his Champions League debut with his new team. Manchester City's probable starting XI: Donnarumma - Khusanov, Aké, Dias, Gvardiol - Silva, Rodri, Foden, Reijnders - Haaland, Doku.
On the other side, Lukaku and Rrahmani will not be traveling to England. But Antonio Conte will be able to count on his playmaker Kevin De Bruyne, who just left Manchester City this summer.

The Neapolitans' probable XI: Meret - Olivera, Buongiorno, Di Lorenzo, Beukema - De Bruyne, Lobotka, Anguissa, McTominay - Politano, Höjlund.
