Ilkay Gundogan makes his long-awaited City debut after being named in the starting XI to face Borussia Monchengladbach.

Starting XI:

Bravo, Zabaleta, Stones, Otamendi, Kolarov, Fernandinho, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Navas, Sterling, Aguero

Subs: Caballero, Clichy, Sane, Angelino, Sagna, Nolito, Iheanacho

Four changes

Sergio Aguero, Jesus Navas and Pablo Zabaleta are all recalled while Gundogan makes his City debut as the Blues make four changes from the team that beat Manchester United at the weekend - Kelechi Iheanacho, Bacary Sagna and Nolito make way.David Silva has picked up a minor knock.

Aguero returns though he still has a further two domestic matches to complete his three-game ban.

Expect Raheem Sterling and Navas to flank Aguero with Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva supplying the ammunition behind the Argentine. Fernandinho is likely to sit deep.
