Nolito comes in for the injured Kevin De Bruyne as Manchester City travel to Celtic in the Champions League.

Nolito has come in for the injured Kevin De Bruyne as Manchester City face Celtic in the Champions League tonight.

Pep Guardiola makes three changes to the side that defeated Swansea City in the Premier League at the weekend as he goes in search of his 11th straight win as City boss.

Nolito is currently serving a three-game domestic ban but is recalled to Guardiola's European XI after De Bruyne was forced off with a hamstring injury during the victory in Wales.

The other two changes come in defence as Bacary Sagna and John Stones drop to the bench in favour of Gael Clichy and Pablo Zabaleta, who will captain the side.

Sergio Aguero, who scored a hat-trick against Borussia Monchengladbach in the opening group game a fortnight ago, continues up front with support from David Silva, Raheem Sterling and Nolito.

For Celtic, Brendan Rodgers makes just two changes to the side that swept aside Kilmarnock 6-1 in the Scottish Premiership at the weekend as he looks to get the Bhoys' Champions League campaign up and running following a 7-0 mauling at the hands of Barcelona two weeks ago.

Craig Gordon takes his place between the sticks after first-choice Dorus De Vries was forced off at half time at Rugby Park with a chest knock.

Former City player Kolo Toure comes into the backline against his former club as Jozo Simunovic drops to the bench, while youngster Patrick Roberts starts among the substitutes against his parent side.

In-form Moussa Dembele keeps his place up front, forcing star striker Leigh Griffiths to begin the encounter on the bench.

Celtic: Gordon; Lustig, Toure, Sviatchenko, Tierney; Bitton, Brown, Forrest, Rogic, Sinclair; Dembele
Subs: De Vries, Simunovic, Griffiths, Gamboa, Armstrong, Roberts, McGregor

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