Joe Hart has been dropped once again from Pep Guardiola’s starting line-up for todays clash between Manchester City and Stoke City.

City’s summer signing Ilkay gundogan will miss todays encounter with Stoke City as he continues his recovery.

The 25-year-old suffered a dislocated knee while still at Borussia Dortmund and is sidelined until the end of the month.

Pep Guardiola will be looking to record his third win in three games this season after defeating both Sunderland and Steaua.

City has a poor record against Stoke City. The Citizens have won just once against Stoke away from home since 2008.  Xherdan Shaqiri is a doubtfor the home side as playmaker struggling with ankle problem
