Team News: Sergio Aguero, Alvaro Negredo lead Manchester City line

Aguero, Negredo lead City line

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has selected Sergio Aguero and Alvaro Negredo as his front two for today's FA Cup quarter-final against Wigan Athletic at the Etihad Stadium.

There is also a start at right-back for Micah Richards, while Joleon Lescott and Javi Garcia are in the first XI as well. As expected, Costel Pantilimon continues between the sticks in place of Joe Hart.

Wigan, meanwhile, have Marc-Antoine Fortune leading their line with support from Jordi Gomez. On-loan Chelsea midfielder Josh McEachran also starts for the Championship outfit.

City: Pantilimon; Richards, Demichelis, Lescott, Clichy; Navas, Toure, Garcia, Nasri; Negredo, Aguero

Wigan: Carson; Perch, Boyce, Ramis, Crainey; McCann, McArthur, McEachran, McManaman; Gomez, Fortune
