Manchester City's John Stones begins this afternoon's trip to Watford on the bench as Pep Guardiola makes one change.

Stones, who came on as a substitute in the 3-1 win against West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday, again starts among the substitutes following a groin strain.

The one alteration for City, who need only a point to guarantee a top-four finish, comes in defence as Gael Clichy replaces Aleksandar Kolarov.

Outgoing Hornets manager Walter Mazzarri, suffering a crisis at centre-back this afternoon, has opted for two changes from the side that fell foul of champions Chelsea earlier in the week.

Adrian Mariappa has failed a late fitness test while Sebastian Prodl is suspended, handing starts to Stefano Okaka and Brandon Mason.

Watford: Gomes; Holebas, Behrami, Janmaat; Amrabat, Mason, Doucoure, Cleverley, Capoue; Niang, Okaka
Subs: Deeney, Zuniga, Watson, Pantilimon, Eleftheriou, Pereira

Manchester City: Caballero; Clichy, Kompany, Otamendi, Fernandinho; De Bruyne, Yaya Toure; Sane, Silva, Gabriel Jesus; Aguero
Subs: Gunn, Sagna, Sterling, Kolarov, Navas, Stones, Iheanacho
