Sergio Aguero and David Silva return to the starting XI for Man City, while Mario Balotelli drops to the bench.

Sergio Aguero and David Silva start in Portugal for Manchester City's Europa League clash against Sporting Lisbon after getting a spot in the bench against Bolton Wanderers last weekend.

Edin Dzeko joins the Argentina international up front, which forces Mario Balotelli to make way, while Samir Nasri has failed to make the starting lineup, with Nigel de Jong, Silva and James Milner occupying midfield.

Yaya Toure misses out due to suspension while his brother Kolo gets a start in defence in order to replace injured Pablo Zabaleta.

Former Liverpool full-back Emiliano Insua gets a spot in Sporting's starting XI with Ricky van Wolfswinkel leading the line.

Sporting Lisbon: Patricio; Carrico, Polga, Pereira, Insua; Xandao, Schaars, Izmailov, Capel; Fernandez, Van Wolfswinkel
Substitutes: Marcelo, Rodriguez, Evaldo, Pereirinha, Neto, Carrillo, Rubio

Manchester City: Hart; Kompany, Kolarov, Clichy, Kolo; Milner, Barry, Silva, De Jong; Dzeko, Aguero
Substitutes: Pantilimon, Lescott, Savic, Pizarro, Johnson, Nasri, Balotelli
