Fixture: Sunderland vs Manchester City
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 19:45 (UK time)
Manchester City have confirmed their starting eleven and substitutes to lock horns with strugglers Sunderland at the Stadium of Light in a Premier League game this evening.
Citizens boss Manuel Pellegrini names Sergio Aguero in attack and will be looking for the Argentine to trouble the Black Cats' defence. He will be well supported by Jesus Navas and David Silva, while Yaya Toure looks to boss the midfield along with Fernandinho. At the back, Nicolas Otamendi and Martin Demichelis are the central defensive pairing.
On the bench Pellegrini can turn to Raheem Sterling if he needs to throw on another attacking player, while Fernando is also amongst the substitutes for potential midfield control.
Manchester City go into the game sitting in second spot in the Premier League standings and three points behind league leaders Leicester City.
