The lineups are out for Manchester City's opening Champions League group stage game against Juventus, and the big news is that both David Silva and Raheem Sterling have returned to Manuel Pellegrini's starting lineup after missing the weekend's victory over Crystal Palace.
Raheem Sterling and David Silva start as Manchester City host Juventus
Two of City’s biggest attacking stars are back in action.
However, there's also a surprise in Juve's selection, with coach Massimiliano Allegri opting to set his side up in a relatively unfamiliar 4-3-3 formation. Álvaro Morata will play wide left for the first time since he joined the club from Real Madrid, while Juan Cuadrado is the other man flanking striker Mario Mandžukić. After a difficult start to the season, Juve will hope this will prove a winning formula.
Manchester City starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Joe Hart; Aleksandar Kolarov, Eliaquim Mangala, Vincent Kompany, Bacary Sagna; Fernandinho, Yaya Touré; Samir Nasri, David Silva, Raheem Sterling; Wilfried Bony
Juventus starting lineup (4-3-3): Gianluigi Buffon; Patrice Evra, Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci, Stephan Lichtsteiner; Paul Pogba, Hernanes, Stefano Sturaro; Álvaro Morata, Mario Mandžukić, Juan Cuadrado.
