The Manchester City injury crisis has forced Manuel Pellegrini into naming two youth players among the substitutes for the match against Sevilla.
The Chilean has kept the same XI that battered Bournemouth at the weekend which means that club captain Vincent Kompany is still on the bench, despite playing an hour for Belgium last week.
Bacary Sagna continues at left-back despite the return of Aleksandar Kolarov.
Jesus Navas plays against his former team in a forward line along with Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling and Wilfried Bony.
On the bench, Pellegrini has been forced to turn to George Glendon, a 20-year-old holding midfielder and 18-year-old winger Brandon Barker, neither of whom have made their first-team debuts.
LINE-UPS:
Man City: Hart, Zabaleta, Otamendi, Mangala, Sagna, Toure, Fernandinho, Navas, De Bruyne, Sterling, Bony
Subs: Caballero, Kolarov, Kompany, Demichelis, Fernando, Glendon, Barker
Sevilla: Rico, Coke, Andreolli, Rami, Tremoulinas, N'Zonzi, Krychowiak, Konoplyanka, Banega, Vitolo, Gameiro.
