[Teams] Man City vs Stoke City: Confirmed Line-Ups

Manchester City entertain Stoke City at the Etihad Stadium this afternoon looking to close in on the top two.

City head into the weekend action sitting two points behind second-placed Arsenal and a further point adrift of leaders Chelsea – who are currently drawing 0-0 with Everton (at the time of writing).

Manuel Pellegrini has made two changes from the side that lost 2-0 to Barcelona on Tuesday, as Samir Nasri and Edin Dzeko come in for Gael Clichy and Jesus Navas. Martin Demichelis keeps his place despite being sent off in midweek.

Here are the confirmed line-ups:

Man City

Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Kolarov, Fernandinho, Yaya Toure, Nasri, Silva, Dzeko, Negredo

Subs: Pantilimon, Lescott, Clichy, Garcia, Milner, Navas, Jovetic

Stoke City

Begovic, Pieters, Shawcross, Wilson, Cameron, Arnautovic, Whelan, Adam, Walters, Crouch, Odemwingie.

Subs: Sorensen, Muniesa, Palacios, Wilkinson, Nzonzi, Etherington, Ireland
