Man City bring in James Milner and Joleon Lescott for their match against Stoke, while Carlos Tevez once again misses out.

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has made two changes to his side to face in-form Stoke City this afternoon.

The reigning Premier League champions bring in Joleon Lescott for Matija Nastasic, while James Milner replaces the suspended Samir Nasri.

Stoke, meanwhile, make four changes from the side that clinched a dramatic 3-3 draw against Southampton at the weekend, with Cameron Jerome's equaliser earning him a starting berth.

There are also returns for Geoff Cameron and Ryan Shawcross from injury, while Charlie Adam also comes back into the team.

Man City: Hart; Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy; Yaya Toure, Barry, Milner, Silva; Aguero, Dzeko
Subs: Pantilimon, Nastasic, Sinclair, Garcia, Kolo Toure, Tevez, Razak

Stoke: Begovic; Cameron, Shawcross, Huth, Wilkinson; Jerome, Nzonzi, Adam, Whelan, Walters; Jones
Subs: Sorensen, Upson, Shotton, Whitehead, Kightly, Etherington, Crouch
