Fixture: Aston Villa vs Manchester City
Competition: FA Cup
Kick-off: 15:00 (UK time)

Manchester City have confirmed their starting line-up and substitutes for this afternoon's FA Cup tie at Villa Park against Aston Villa.

Citizens boss Manuel Pellegrini goes with Raheem Sterling, while Jesus Navas is also handed a start by the Chilean. Fabian Delph lines up in midfield, as do Fernandinho and Fernando. At the back, Bacary Sagna, Pablo Zabaleta, Nicolas Otamendi and Gael Clichy line up.




On the bench Pellegrini can turn to Sergio Aguero if he needs to throw on another striker to change the game, while David Silva is also an option for the Citizens manager.

Manchester City head into the game on the back of booking their spot in the League Cup final by putting Everton to the sword in midweek. Pellegrini will want his side to make further cup progress today.
