Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has made six changes to his side for this afternoon's FA Cup quarter-final against Barnsley.

An unfamiliar defensive unit features Joleon Lescott and Aleksandr Kolarov, who come in for Matija Nastasic and Gael Clichy.

Barnsley have also made two changes to their starting XI, with Manchester United loanee Ryan Tunnicliffe and Tomasz Cywka in for Chris O'Grady and Jacob Mellis.

Manchester City: Pantilimon, Zabaleta, Kolo Toure, Lescott, Kolarov, Yaya Toure, Barry, Silva, Tevez, Nasri, Dzeko
