Alternatively, Enzo Maresca could consider shifting Josko Gvardiol to centre-back and starting Nico O'Reilly at left-back to rest Guehi, according to Esteemed Kompany. This would require O'Reilly to be fit, as he has been dealing with a back injury. Either way, Maresca has options to rest Guehi while maintaining a strong defence, with Abdukodir Khusanov or Josko Gvardiol potentially partnering Ruben Dias, as reported by Esteemed Kompany.

Source context
It isn’t a stretch to say that Marc Guehi has been below his best in recent matches. Three of the four goals that Manchester City have conceded against Ipswich Town and Aston Villa have come via mistakes from the England international. Guehi does look like he is in need of a rest. To start this season, Enzo Maresca has preferred to partner Ruben Dias and Guehi in the heart of City’s defence. With Guehi being down on form there is a simple solution on offer for Enzo Maresca to use to give Guehi a break and keep the heart of Manchester City’s in strong shape.
