Fixture: Manchester City vs Stoke City
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 15:00 (UK time)

Manchester City have announced their starting eleven and substitutes to lock horns with Stoke City at the Etihad Stadium in a Premier League clash this afternoon.

Pep Guardiola's side went into the international break on a high by beating title rivals Chelsea and the Spanish boss will want his men to pick up where they left off against the Potters.




Guardiola must make do without centre-back Vincent Kompany, who is out with a calf injury.

The Manchester City boss picks Ederson between the sticks, while in defence he goes with John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi, with Kyle Walker also handed a start.

Further up the pitch, Guardiola has Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva to add creativity, while Fernandinho also plays. Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus and Leroy Sane are also selected.

If the Citizens boss needs to make changes at any point against the Potters then he can look to his bench and call for Sergio Aguero.
