Team News: Ilkay Gundogan handed Manchester City debut

Pep Guardiola has brought Ilkay Gundogan into Manchester City's starting lineup for the rearranged meeting with Borussia Monchengladbach.

The Spaniard makes one change to the initial side named 24 hours ago, with Gundogan replacing David Silva who misses out as a precaution.

Sergio Aguero, currently serving a three-match domestic ban, will start up top for the home side, while Kevin De Bruyne - the key player in City's thrilling win over rivals Manchester United four days ago - is also named in the XI.

The visitors, who had initially pushed to have this game staged at a slightly earlier time, stick with the same lineup named yesterday - meaning no place in the squad for not-yet-fit German midfielder Patrick Herrmann.

Barcelona thrashed Celtic 7-0 in Tuesday night's other Group C fixture to send out an early message to last season's beaten semi-finalists City.

Manchester City: Bravo, Zabaleta, Otamendi, Stones, Kolarov, Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Sterling, Navas, Aguero Subs: Caballero, Sagna, Nolito, Sane, Clichy, Iheanacho, Angelino

Borussia Monchengladbach: Sommer; Elvedi, Christensen, Strobl; Kramer, Dahoud, Johnson, Wendt; Stindl; Raffael, Hahn Subs: Sippel, Vestergaard, Hazard, Traore, Hofmann, Jantschke, Korb
