Team News: David Silva, Sergio Aguero start, Yaya Toure benched for Man City's CL clash

David Silva and Sergio Aguero start for Manchester City, while Yaya Toure is benched for tonight's Champions League quarter-final showdown against Paris Saint-Germain.

David Silva and Sergio Aguero have been given the nod by Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini to start in tonight's Champions League quarter-final decider against Paris Saint-Germain, but Yaya Toure has dropped to the bench.

Pellegrini has in fact named an unchanged XI from last week's first leg, which ended in a 2-2 draw.

Toure returned to the squad against West Bromwich Albion at the weekend, but is again left on the bench.

Visitors PSG, meanwhile, have had to make some changes from the first leg after David Luiz and Blaise Matuidi picked up yellow cards which rule them out of tonight's match.

Laurent Blanc has therefore tinkered with his formation and seemingly gone with three at the back, with Marquinhos and Gregory van der Wiel the two coming in.

Manchester City: Hart; Sagna, Otamendi, Mangala, Clichy; Fernando, Fernandinho; Navas, Silva, De Bruyne; Aguero
Subs: Caballero, Iheanacho, Bony, Toure, Delph, Kolarov, Zabaleta

Paris Saint-Germain: Trapp; Aurier, Marquinhos, Silva; Van der Wiel, Rabiot, Motta, Maxwell; Di Maria; Ibrahimovic, Cavani
Subs: Sirigu, Kimpembe, Stambouli, Lucas, Kurzawa, Pastore, Ongenda
