Fixture: Manchester City vs Shakhtar Donetsk
Competition: Champions League
Kick-off: 19:45 (UK time)

Manchester City have confirmed their starting line-up and substitutes to play host to Ukrainian giants Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League this evening.

Pep Guardiola's side are in superb form and thrashed Crystal Palace 5-0 at the Etihad Stadium at the weekend in Premier League action. The Citizens thrashed Feyenoord 4-0 in their opening group stage game and will want to build on it tonight.




Manchester City are without Vincent Kompany for the game, as he nurses an injury.

Guardiola goes with Ederson between the sticks, while in defence he picks John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi as the central pairing. Fabian Delph is handed a start, along with Fernandinho. David Silva plays and with Kevin De Bruyne and Leory Sane will be looking to create openings for Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero.

If the Manchester City boss needs to make changes against Shakhtar Donetsk then he can look to his bench and call for Ilkay Gundogan, along with Yaya Toure.
