Team News: Five players make full Manchester City debuts

Five youngsters will make their full Manchester City debuts during their FA Cup clash away at Chelsea.

A quintet of youngsters have been handed their first ever Manchester City starts by manager Manuel Pellegrini for this afternoon's FA Cup tie away at Chelsea.

The Chilean boss has taken the decision to ring the changes with Wednesday evening's Champions League encounter away in Kiev in mind.

As a result, Tosin Adarabioyo, Aleix Garcia, Manu Garcia, Bersant Celina and David Faupaula will all make their full debuts for the Citizens at Stamford Bridge.

Sergio Aguero has been omitted from the squad entirely, while the likes of Joe Hart, Vincent Kompany and Raheem Sterling have been named among the substitutes.

In stark contrast, interim Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink has picked an experienced starting lineup.

In fact, he has stuck with the same players that started the 2-1 defeat away at Paris Saint-Germain last time out.

Chelsea: Courtois; Azpilicueta, Cahill, Ivanovic, Rahman; Fabregas, Mikel; Pedro, Willian, Hazard; Costa
Subs: Begovic, Miazga, Matic, Loftus-Cheek, Oscar, Traore, Remy

Manchester City: Caballero; Zabaleta, Adarabioyo, Demichelis, Kolarov; Fernando, A Garcia, M Garcia, Celina; Iheanacho, Faupala
Subs: Hart, Clichy, Humphreys, Kompany, Fernandinho, Barker, Sterling
