Aguero and Silva should return for the Sky Blues…
Here’s how we reckon City will lineup this evening…
Manuel Pellegrini is expected to bring back star attackers David Silva and Sergio Aguero who are both back in contention following recent minor injury problems. Aguero should play off Alvaro Negredo, who will probably be chosen ahead of Edin Dzeko for his extra work-rate. Silva will start from the left but will be given the licence to roam infield, where his Spanish compatriot Jesus Navas will stick to the right-flank.
As they all have all season, the first-choice pairing of Yaya Toure and Fernandinho will start in the centre of the park.
Captain Vincent Kompany will need to be at his very best to keep out last season’s Champions League winners, and will partner young Serb Matija Nastasic. Ever reliable Pablo Zabaleta will have a difficult job keeping the interchanging pair of Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery quiet down his right-hand side, while Aleksandr Kolarov will have to collar his attacking mentality down the left, with Gael Clichy still doubtful with an injury.
