Vincent Kompany and Yaya Toure have returned to the Manchester City squad for this afternoon's Premier League encounter against Queens Park Rangers.
The pair, who missed the 1-0 win away at Tottenham Hotspur last time out, have been included on the bench by manager Manuel Pellegrini.
Frank Lampard retains his place in midfield, while Eliaquim Mangala will continue to partner Martin Demichelis at the heart of the defence.
Meanwhile, visiting manager Chris Ramsey appears to have adopted a 3-5-2 formation, with Steven Caulker, Richard Dunne and Clint Hill forming the defensive unit.
