Sergio Aguero starts Manchester City's match against Stoke City on the bench after returning from a broken rib.

Sergio Aguero starts Manchester City's match against Stoke City on the bench after returning from injury.

The Argentine broke a rib in a car crash in Amsterdam two weeks ago but is deemed fit enough for a place among the replacements, while Pep Guardiola's starting XI is identical to the side that beat Chelsea before the international break.

The visiting Potters have made two changes to the contingent that beat Southampton to halt their five-match winless run.

Joe Allen is out after suffering concussion on Wales duty, while Saido Berahino drops to the bench. Berahino is replaced up front by Jese Rodriguez, while Tom Edwards makes his Premier League debut in midfield.

Manchester City: Ederson; Walker, Stones, Otamendi, Delph; Fernandinho, Silva, De Bruyne; Sterling, Sane, Jesus
Subs: Bravo, Danilo, Gundogan, Aguero, Mangala, Silva, Toure

Stoke City: Butland; Zouma, Edwards, Wimmer, Pieters; Cameron, Fletcher; Choupo-Moting, Diouf, Shaqiri; Jese
Subs: Grant, Berahino, Afellay, Martins Indi, Adam, Crouch, Sobhi
