Edin Dzeko starts in place of Carlos Tevez for Manchester City as they host Stoke at the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City vs. Stoke City: Lineups
The Bosnian will lead the line for City, with Sergio Aguero, David Silva and James Milner in behind. Joleon Lescott also makes a return to the City lineup to partner Vincent Kompany at centre-back.
Stoke, meanwhile, see the return of Geoff Cameron and Ryan Shawcross to their defence, which looked leaky without them in a 3-3 draw with Southampton. Cameron Jerome gets a rare start after a good display against the Saints. Jonathan Walters is moved out to the wing to accomodate him.
Manchester City (4-2-3-1): Joe Hart; Pablo Zabaleta, Vincent Kompany (C), Joleon Lescott, Gael Clichy; Yaya Toure, Gareth Barry; James Milner, David Silva, Sergio Aguero; Edin Dzeko
Stoke City (4-4-2): Asmir Begovic; Geoff Cameron, Ryan Shawcross, Robert Huth, Andy Wilkinson; Glenn Whelan, Steven N'Zonzi, Charlie Adam, Jonathan Walters; Kenwyne Jones, Cameron Jerome.
