Demichelis moves to defence

Martin Demichelis has retained his place in the Manchester City starting lineup for the Premier League clash against Norwich City away from home.

However, the 33-year-old Argentine is shifted from midfield into central defence, while Stevan Jovetic joins Alvaro Negredo in attack.

Meanwhile, Norwich manager Chris Hughton has made four changes to his side, with Ryan Bennett, Robert Snodgrass and Jonas Gutierrez all missing out due to respective injuries.

Leroy Fer returns to the Canaries side and replaces Johan Elmander, while Joseph Yobo makes his debut at centre-back.

Norwich City: Ruddy; Martin, Yobo, Bassong, Olsson; Redmond, Tettey, Johnson, Pilkington; Fer; Hooper Subs: Bunn, Whittaker, van Wolfswinkel, Hoolahan, Garrido, Becchio, Josh Murphy

Manchester City: Hart; Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Clichy; Navas, Milner, Toure, Silva; Jovetic, Negredo Subs: Pantilimon, Richards, Rodwell, Lopes, Kolarov, Dzeko, Lescott
