Manchester City are in real crisis mode after a fifth straight defeat in all competitions, and they will be looking for revenge in Tuesday night's Champions League clash when they host Feyenoord at the Etihad.
Pep Guardiola's side were thrashed 4-0 by Tottenham Hotspur in a shock Premier League game on Saturday, while Dutch side Feyenoord eased to a 3-0 win over Heerenveen in the Eredivisie.
Latest Man City vs Feyenoord squad information
Manchester City will be without Rodri (ACL), Oscar Bobb (foot) and Mateo Kovacic (unspecified injury) against Feyenoord, while Ruben Dias is also expected to miss out with a calf problem.
Jeremy Doku (thigh) is the only player fit to feature, but Guardiola will surely consider a number of changes, including the possibility of recalling Kevin De Bruyne to the attack. The Belgian midfielder showed some fine touches off the bench on Saturday and could form an attacking duo with Jack Grealish, while Nathan Ake would replace either John Stones or Josko Gvardiol.
As for Feyenoord, the home defeat to Salzburg not only cost them points but also Chris-Kevin Nadje, who was sent off for a serious foul in the second half and will miss the trip to Manchester through suspension.
Feyenoord are facing a bigger injury crisis than City, with eight players missing Saturday's win over Heerenveen, including key striker Santiago Gimenez (hip), first-choice goalkeeper Justin Bijlow (muscle) and captain Quinten Timber (ankle). All three are major doubts for Tuesday's game.
Other players such as Hugo Bueno (unspecified injury), Jordan Lotomba (hamstring injury), Ayase Ueda (muscle injury), Ibrahim Osman (unspecified injury) and Quilindschy Hartman (knee injury) are also undergoing treatment, although Hartman was not included in Feyenoord's group stage squad due to a long-term absence.
Latest expected lineup Man City vs Feyenoord
Manchester City:

Feyenoord:
Wellenreuther; Nieuwkoop, Trauner, Hancko, Smal; Hwang, Zerrouki, Milambo; Moussa, Carranza, Paixao
Latest Man City vs Feyenoord football review
From the joy of Pep Guardiola's contract extension to the heartbreak of his heaviest home defeat in the Premier League under the Catalan, Manchester City's poor run this autumn continues on Saturday night when they face Tottenham, a team that has made a habit of taking points from the reigning champions.
However, even the most optimistic Tottenham fans could not have imagined the humiliation their team suffered at the Etihad, where James Maddison - whose birthday was that day - scored a brace, before Pedro Porro and Brennan Johnson completed the Manchester side's surprise thrashing.
While Liverpool fans across England struggle to contain their excitement with more than a third of the season gone, the reigning Premier League champions are on course to avoid a sixth straight defeat in Tuesday's Champions League tie, where they also need to make amends for a number of mistakes in Europe.
In fact, current Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim led Sporting Lisbon to a 4-1 win in his last Champions League game, leaving Manchester City in 10th place in the 36-team table, well outside the Champions League group stage qualification spots.
If disaster strikes and the Premier League champions lose again on Tuesday, they will face consecutive home defeats for the first time since a run of three at the Etihad in 2018. However, they are still on a run of 33 home games without defeat in competitive Champions League fixtures.
In contrast, Man City's next opponents, Feyenoord, only need to go back to November 6 to remember a 3-1 home defeat to Red Bull Salzburg, a team that has lost its first three games in this competition.
Although Man City have yet to turn their fortunes around after their latest Champions League defeat, Feyenoord have returned to their usual form, winning the Eredivisie 4-1 against Almere City and 3-0 against Heerenveen; the latter victory has made it six wins in seven in the Eredivisie.
Although Feyenoord have a long way to go to catch PSV Eindhoven at the top of the Eredivisie, they have picked up six points from their first four Champions League games this season, and are currently in the bottom half of the group stage standings.
However, those six points have been earned away from home, where Feyenoord have beaten Girona 3-2 and Benfica 3-1 in this season's Champions League. If they win their third consecutive away game in European competition, they will set a new club record.
Feyenoord have already lost to Guardiola's winning machine in the 2017-18 Champions League group stage, with Manchester City thrashing them 4-0 at De Kuip before winning 1-0 at the Etihad. A similar result in the upcoming game, while not impressive, would be seen as a blessing in disguise by City fans, given the team's desperate need for a win.
