Vincent Kompany and Fernandinho have also been selected, but Sergio Aguero is absent from the squad due to a minor knee injury.

Aymeric Laporte, Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva are the other three players to miss out having started the 1-0 win over Chelsea eight days ago.

As for Stoke, Paul Lambert makes just the one change, with Mame Biram Diouf being forced to miss Monday's fixture with a shoulder injury.
