Manchester City kick off their Club World Cup campaign against Urawa Red Diamonds on Tuesday evening and supporters have backed Pep Guardiola to go strong in search of silverware.
City flew out of Jeddah immediately after their disappointing 2-2 draw at home to Crystal Palace. Pep Guardiola's side were 2-0 up as late as the 75th minute but conceded twice, including an added-time penalty, to drop two more points.
Erling Haaland was on that flight, having missed City's last three games through injury, but the Norwegian was not involved in Monday's training session and is not expected to be available.
And in his absence, fans have decided to keep Julian Alvarez as the starting No.9.
