Team News: Vincent Kompany, Sergio Aguero return for Manchester City

Sergio Aguero returns for Manchester City's clash against Arsenal in one of three changes for the Citizens, while Arsenal make two changes to their starting lineup.

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has made three changes to his starting lineup for this afternoon's Premier League meeting with Arsenal.

Top scorer Sergio Aguero returns to the fold having made his return from injury as a substitute last time out, while captain Vincent Kompany is also deemed fit enough to feature from the off.

James Milner has been handed a starting berth in midfield, meanwhile, with Stevan Jovetic, Samir Nasri and Eliaquim Mangala all dropping out.

In terms of the Gunners, Arsene Wenger has been boosted by the return to fitness of Aaron Ramsey, who comes in this afternoon for his first start since limping off against Galatasaray last month.

Elsewhere, Hector Bellerin slots in for the injured Mathieu Debuchy in the visitors' backline, and David Ospina retains his place between the sticks.

MANCHESTER CITY XI: Hart; Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Clichy; Fernandinho, Fernando; Navas, Silva, Milner; Aguero
Subs: Caballero, Mangala, Sagna, Kolarov, Lampard, Jovetic, Dzeko

ARSENAL XI: Ospina; Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal; Coquelin, Ramsey, The Ox; Cazorla, Alexis, Giroud
Subs: Szczesny, Gibbs, Chambers, Flamini, Rosicky, Ozil, Walcott
