Man City vs Shakhtar Donetsk: Confirmed Line-ups – Star man misses out, Jesus returns

Manchester City will be looking to build upon an impressive run of form against Ukrainian giants Shakhtar Donetsk in their UEFA Champions League Match Day 2 group stage.

The Citizens head into the clash on the back of a 5-0 victory over Crystal Palace last weekend.

The Manchester based outfit side have netted 22 goals in their last five games while conceding just once.

Germany international Ilkay Gundogan has been ruled out of the game after picking up an injury in the 2-1 win over West Brom.

Gundogan suffered an ankle injury following a tackle from behind by Baggies midfielder Claudio Yacob.

Fabian Delph looks set to start at left-back this evening and Gabriel Jesus returns to the starting lineup alongside Sergio Aguero.

City will secure their place at the top of Group F with a win tonight.
