Ederson out of side in bid for change

Ortega was one of three Manchester City changes from the side that drew 3-3 with Feyenoord on Tuesday night and by far the most eyebrow-raising.

This was his first league start of the season and his first game since the league cup defeat to Tottenham at the end of October.

Ederson was culpable for at least one goal in the Feyenoord collapse, including rushing out of his net for the third and also gave away a penalty in City's last trip to Anfield to cede control of a game that City had been winning. Ortega came on then and helped to steady the ship.
