Wilfried Bony also starts up front for the league leaders, replacing Sergio Aguero who has been ruled out for a month with the hamstring injury he picked up playing for Argentina
Manuel Pellegrini has benched Vincent Kompany for Manchester City's clash with Bournemouth.
The City and Belgium captain completed 60 minutes on international duty on Tuesday, but has been overlooked by his manager, who was frustrated by his decision to play in midweek, and has instead picked Eliaquim Mangala and Nicolas Otamendi.
Elsewhere, Wilfried Bony replaces the hamstrung Sergio Aguero upfront after the Argentine suffered a hamstring injury playing for Argentina last week that will rule him out for a month.
Bacary Sagna, meanwhile, fills in at left-back with both Aleks Kolarov and Gael Clichy injured. (GOAL)
Manchester City XI: Hart; Zabaleta, Otamendi, Mangala, Sagna; Fernandinho, Toure; Navas, De Bruyne, Sterling; Bony.
