Pep Guardiola, will be notably absent. The Catalan is currently recuperating from an emergency back surgery and won't be back on the touchline until after September's international break. During his absence, his role will be assumed by assistant coach Juanma Lillo.

Lillo holds a unique connection with Guardiola as he was the last manager Pep played under during their time together at Dorados Sinaloa in Mexico. Lillo left his manager position at Al Sadd to return to City's coaching staff in July.

"We are quite similar in how we see football and how we understand the game," Guardiola mentioned regarding his second in command "He is a friend."
