Team News: Nicolas Otamendi, Fernandinho back for Manchester City

Otamendi, Fernandinho back for Man City

Manchester City have made three changes to their side as they travel to Juventus in the Champions League.

Gael Clichy, Nicolas Otamendi and Fernandinho all began Saturday's 4-1 defeat to Liverpool on the bench, but the trio have been promoted to the starting XI for the game in Turin.

Eliaquim Mangala is one of six senior players to miss the trip through injury, while Alexander Kolarov and Raheem Sterling have been demoted to the bench.

Juventus have also made changes as they switch to a 3-5-2 formation.

Patrice Evra picked up a knock in the 1-0 win over AC Milan at the weekend and has to be content with a place among the substitutes, with Alex Sandro filling in at left wing-back.

The only other change sees Leonardo Bonucci come into the back three, with the suspended Hernanes dropping out.

Juventus: Buffon; Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Lichtsteiner, Sturaro, Marchisio, Pogba, Alex Sandro; Mandzukic, Dybala Subs: Neto, Rugani, Evra, Lemina, Cuadrado, Zaza, Morata

Manchester City: Hart; Sagna, Demichelis, Otamendi, Clichy; Fernando, Fernandinho; Navas, Toure, De Bruyne; Aguero Subs: Caballero, Maffeo, Adarabioyo, Kolarov, Delph, Celina, Sterling
