Team News: Yaya Toure, Pablo Zabaleta recalled for Dynamo Kiev clash

Manuel Pellegrini makes two changes to his Manchester City starting lineup by handing recalls to Pablo Zabaleta and Yaya Toure.

Yaya Toure and Pablo Zabaleta have both been recalled into the Manchester City starting lineup for the visit of Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League this evening.

The duo missed out against Norwich City on Saturday afternoon, but Manuel Pellegrini has brought both back in as part of the only two changes from the goalless draw at Carrow Road.

Wilfried Bony is the man to make way for Toure, meaning a shift to what should be a 4-2-3-1 formation for the hosts, while Zabaleta is in for the injured Bacary Sagna at full-back.

There is no place in the squad for Kelechi Iheanacho, meanwhile, but Raheem Sterling takes his place on the bench after missing out on first-team selection once more.

In terms of the visitors, they can call upon the services of Andriy Yarmalenko up top, fresh on the back of the Ukrainian international's sixth goal of the season for club and country last time out.

Danilo Silva is also part of Serhiy Rebrov's matchday squad, having overcome a muscle injury that rendered him a doubt in the build-up to this last-16 return tie.

City hold a 3-1 lead from last month's first leg, thanks to goal from Toure, David Silva and Sergio Aguero.

Manchester City: Hart, Zabaleta, Otamendi, Kompany, Clichy, Fernando, Fernandinho, Silva, Toure, Navas, Aguero
Subs: Caballero, Demichelis, Kolarov, Mangala, Sterling, M Garcia, Bony

Dynamo Kiev: Shovkovskiy, Antunes, Dragovic, Vida, Khacheridi, Miguel Veloso, Garmash, Gusev, Buyalskiy, Yarmolenko, Teodorczyk
Subs: Rudko, Danilo Silva, Makarenko, Yakovenko, Sydorchuk, Korzun, Gonzalez
