Team News: Sergio Aguero, David Silva back for Manchester City

Sergio Aguero and David Silva return for Manchester City's trip to Swansea City.

Sergio Aguero and David Silva have returned to the Manchester City starting XI for their trip to Swansea City this afternoon.

In all, City boss Pep Guardiola makes three changes to the side that swept aside Bournemouth 4-0 last time out as he looks to make it 10 straight wins in all competitions.

Aguero, returning from a three-game domestic suspension, starts up front as Kelechi Iheanacho drops down to the bench.

Support comes from Silva - in for the suspended Nolito - alongside Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling and Ilkay Gundogan.

The other alteration sees John Stones restored to the heart of the back four, with Gael Clichy instead starting among the substitutes.

For the Swans, who are hosting City for the second time in four days following their 2-1 EFL Cup defeat in midweek, manager Francesco Guidolin makes four changes to the XI that were defeated 1-0 at Southampton last weekend.

Federico Fernandez misses the game with a groin injury and Stephen Kingsley is left out of the matchday squad as Angel Rangel and Mike van der Hoorn come into the back four after a run-out together in the Cup game.

Ki Sung-yueng sits alongside Modou Barrow, Neil Taylor and record signing Borja Baston on the bench as Alfie Mawson earns his first start of the season and Wayne Routledge returns to the lineup.

Swansea City: Fabianksi; Naughton, Amat, van der Hoorn, Rangel; Cork, Britton, Fer; Routledge, Sigurdsson; Llorente
Subs: Nordtfelt, Mawson, Taylor, Ki, Montero, Barrow, Borja

Manchester City: Bravo; Sagna, Otamendi, Stones, Kolarov; Fernandinho; Gundogan, Silva, De Bruyne, Sterling; Aguero
Subs: Caballero, Zabaleta, Sane, Navas, Iheanacho, Fernando, Clichy
