Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini will reportedly make a late decision today on whether to place Sergio Aguero in the starting lineup to face Liverpool tonight.

The Argentina international impressed after coming off the bench to score City's second goal in their opening Premier League 2-0 victory over Newcastle United last Sunday.

The 26-year-old's performance has sparked suggestions that Aguero will start against last season's league runners-up, but City will put the striker through a late fitness test before making a decision, according to the Manchester Evening News.

City finished two points above Liverpool last season to clinch their second league title in three years.
