Monaco v Man City: Confirmed Starting Lineups – Pep uses a 4-1-4-1 formation & makes 4 changes

Manchester City take on Monaco in the Champions League Last 16 second-leg tie in France with a 5-3 aggregate advantage.

City boss Pep Guardiola has made four changes to the side that beat Middlesbrough 2-0 at the weekend.

Guardiola has recalled Aleksandar Kolarov, Willy Caballero, Fernandinho and Bacary Sagna to the line-up.

The Citizens conceded three goals in the first leg but they have not kept clean sheets in their last six successive away games.

Guardiola will deploy a 4-1-4-1 setup with Sergio Aguero leading the line upfront and Fernandinho as a holding midfielder.

City star Ilkay Gundogan will miss the game. The Germany international of Turkish origin has started returning to light training but is in need of more time before he returns to first team football.
