Kompany, who picked up a hamstring strain during the defeat by Barcelona, has recovered in time to take his place in defence. Demichelis starts next to him, despite his red card in the Champions League.

Meanwhile, Samir Nasri and striker Edin Dzeko are in for Gael Clichy and Jesus Navas.

Stoke are unchanged from the 1-1 draw against Swansea City.

Manchester City: Hart; Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Kolarov; Fernandinho, Yaya Toure, Nasri, Silva; Dzeko, Negredo

Stoke City: Begovic; Pieters, Wilson, Shawcross, Cameron; Arnautovic, Whelan, Adam, Odemwingie, Walters; Crouch
