City drop Raheem Sterling for Norwich

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has made two changes from the side that drew 0-0 with Manchester United last Sunday for this afternoon's clash with Norwich City.

Nigerian youngster Kelechi Iheanacho replaces Raheem Sterling on the wing, following his goalscoring performance in City's 5-1 League Cup win over Crystal Palace earlier this week.

Winger Jesus Navas returns to the starting XI in place of Fernando, while 17-year-old Manu Garcia is named on the bench following his first professional goal in Wednesday's cup tie.

Visitors Norwich City make three changes from the side that lost 1-0 to West Bromwich Albion last weekend, as Cameron Jerome replaces Dieumerci Mbokani up front.

Youssuf Mulumbu and Martin Olsson replace Wes Hoolahan and Nathan Redmond, as manager Alex Neil switches to a 5-4-1 with Robbie Brady and Olsson at wing-back.

Manchester City: Hart; Sagna, Kompany, Otamendi, Kolarov; Toure, Fernandinho; Navas, De Bruyne, Iheanacho; Bony Subs: Caballero, Demichelis, Mangala, Fernando, Garcia, Roberts, Sterling
