Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Sporting Lisbon could line up for Tuesday's Champions League clash with Manchester City.

Sporting Lisbon manager Ruben Amorim will take charge of his final Champions League game for the Portuguese giants on Tuesday, when they host Premier League champions Manchester City.

The 39-year-old will soon be settling into his Manchester United quarters, having agreed to take over from Erik ten Hag, and he has been tipped to take a handful of players with him.

One of those Sporting stars is chief attacking threat Viktor Gyokeres, who scored four against Estrela Amadora on Friday night and has already notched a staggering 20 in all competitions this season.

The Sweden international has also scored in all four of his European home starts for Sporting and will spearhead a three-man attacking trident, which should also comprise Trincao and Pedro Goncalves.

Man United fans should be intensely watching Amorim's 3-4-3 system in action this week, where Danish fulcrum Morten Hjulmand and Daniel Braganca should pair up in the centre of the park.

Maxi Araujo and 17-year-old sensation Geovany Quenda should be tasked with wing-back duties on Tuesday evening, where Ousmane Diomande, Zeno Debast and Goncalo Inacio will most likely guard goalkeeper Franco Israel.

Inacio came off at half time in the win over Estrela but is not reported to have suffered any injury, although Nuno Santos (knee) and Eduardo Quaresma (muscle) are missing for the hosts.

Sporting Lisbon possible starting lineup:
Israel; Inacio, Diomande, Debast; Quenda, Braganca, Hjulmand, Araujo; Trincao, Gyokeres, Goncalves
