Substitutions: Sergio Gómez for Walker (41 mn - Injury), Mahrez for Foden (74 mn), Álvarez for De Bruyne (74 mn), Palmer for Grealish (74 mn) and Laporte for Gündoğan (74 mn)
Notes: Walker got injured on the 35th minute, he tried to carry on but inevitably was substituted for Sergi Gómez
Sergio Gómez played as LB, this relocated João Cancelo as RB
Laporte inherited the captain armband from Gündoğan, who at first seemed to tell Laporte that the captain armband should be given to someone else, but quickly backed off from that notion
After the 4 substitutions were made, the formation changed into a 4-2-2-2/4-4-2 approach with Laporte as left CB, Aké as LB, Bernardo Silva as right CMF, Sergio Gómez as left CMF, Álvarez as right SS, Haaland as left CF, Palmer as left AMF/LMF and Mahrez as right AMF/RMF
