Team news: Yaya Toure starts for Manchester City, Tom Heaton misses out for Burnley

The Ivorian midfielder scored twice last weekend in his first league start of the season, and is preferred to Kevin De Bruyne who drops to the bench after an indifferent performance at Borussia Moenchengladbach in midweek.

Aleksandar Kolarov continues in the centre of defence following Vincent Kompany’s latest injury setback. Fernandinho captains City.

Burnley are without injured goalkeeper Tom Heaton, with Paul Robinson deputising. That is the only change from the side that lost 4-0 to West Brom on Monday.

BURNLEY: Robinson, Lowton, Keane, Mee, Ward, Defour, Marney, Boyd, Hendrick, Gudmunsson, Vokes... Subs: Flanagan, Kightly, Gray, Barnes, Pope, Tarkowski, Arfield.

MANCHESTER CITY: Bravo, Sagna, Otamendi, Kolarov, Clichy, Fernandinho (C), Fernando, Yaya Toure, Sterling, Nolito, Aguero... Subs: Caballero, De Bruyne, Silva, Zabaleta, Navas, Sane, Iheanacho
