Tottenham 0-0 Man City
Bernardo not in 18; Mahrez starts
KDB bench, Aguero starts
Winks in for Spurs

Sergio Aguero was fit to take his place in Manchester City’s starting line-up for their Champions League quarter-final first leg at Tottenham on Tuesday.

Aguero had missed City’s last two matches against Cardiff and Brighton after suffering a muscle injury during their Premier League win at Fulham on March 30.

But the Argentine striker, City’s all-time leading goal-scorer, was declared ready to return for the clash with their Premier League rivals at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

City manager Pep Guardiola, hoping to win an unprecedented quadruple this season, freshened up his team with four changes following their lethargic 1-0 FA Cup semi-final victory against Brighton on Saturday.

DE BRUYNE BENCHED, AGUERO STARTS

Perhaps tactically but surely down to injury, Kevin De Bruyne is on the bench tonight with Fernandinho starting in his place.

Sergio Aguero is fit enough to start up front meaning Gabriel Jesus is on the bench, but in defence Benjamin Mendy, withdrawn with injury on Saturday, is not in the 18. Kyle Walker who was also withdrawn as a precaution has recovered, though.
