City make two changes to the side that beat Southampton 2-1, with the summer signing Rodri returning from injury to replace David Silva, who drops to the bench, but there are six alterations from Wednesday's 1-1 draw at Atalanta in the Champions League.

John Stones partners Fernandinho at centre-back, Kyle Walker and Angelino - who was making only his second Premier League start - are deployed at full-back while Sergio Aguero is preferred up front to Gabriel Jesus.
