Team News: John Stones on bench for Manchester City

Manchester City's John Stones begins this afternoon's trip to Watford on the bench as Pep Guardiola makes one change.

Stones, who came on as a substitute in the 3-1 win against West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday, again starts among the substitutes following a groin strain.

The one alteration for City, who need only a point to guarantee a top-four finish, comes in defence as Gael Clichy replaces Aleksandar Kolarov.

Outgoing Hornets manager Walter Mazzarri, suffering a crisis at centre-back this afternoon, has opted for two changes from the side that fell foul of champions Chelsea earlier in the week.

Adrian Mariappa has failed a late fitness test while Sebastian Prodl is suspended, handing starts to Stefano Okaka and Brandon Mason.

Watford: Gomes; Holebas, Behrami, Janmaat; Amrabat, Mason, Doucoure, Cleverley, Capoue; Niang, Okaka Subs: Deeney, Zuniga, Watson, Pantilimon, Eleftheriou, Pereira

Manchester City: Caballero; Clichy, Kompany, Otamendi, Fernandinho; De Bruyne, Yaya Toure; Sane, Silva, Gabriel Jesus; Aguero Subs: Gunn, Sagna, Sterling, Kolarov, Navas, Stones, Iheanacho
