Pep Guardiola makes four changes to Manchester City's starting lineup for the trip to face Borussia Monchengladbach, while the hosts remain without a string of players.

Pep Guardiola has made four changes to Manchester City's starting lineup for the trip to face Borussia Monchengladbach in the Champions League.

Among those to return is defender John Stones, who takes his place in a three-man backline for a match from which City require a win to make absolute certain of progression.

Ilkay Gundogan also comes into the side in a defensive midfield role, while David Silva and Jesus Navas take up more advanced roles in an attack-minded starting lineup named by Guardiola.

Injured skipper Vincent Kompany is among those to drop out from the 2-1 win over Crystal Palace, with Yaya Toure - the decisive player in that Premier League clash - also out of the squad due to his ineligibility in European competition.

In terms of the visitors, Christoph Kramer and Julian Korb are suspended and will play no part at Borussia-Park, and the trio of Alvaro Dominguez, Patrick Hermann and Mamadou Doucoure are also out through injury.

A poor run of form in the Bundesliga has left Gladbach down in 13th place, but victory tonight will see them draw level on points with their opponents in Group C ahead of the final matchday in a fortnight's time.

Borussia Monchengladbach: Sommer, Christiensen, Strobl, Dahoud, Raffel, Stindl, Traore, Wendt, Johnson, Jantschke, Elvedi
Subs: Sippel, Vestegaard, N. Schulz, Benes, Hofmann, Hahn, Rutten

Manchester City: Bravo, Kolarov, Stones. Otamendi, Fernandinho, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling, Aguero, Navas
Subs: Caballero, Sagna, Clichy, Nolito, Iheanacho, Fernando, Sane
