The teams are in as City bid to overturn the one goal deficit from Liverpool's 1-0 victory at The Etihad Stadium a fortnight ago.

In somewhat of a surprise, Roberto Mancini has not started with Sergio Aguero, instead bringing in Aleksandar Kolarov to bolster the midfield numbers whilst Nigel de Jong returns to the side in place of James Milner:

The teams have been announced and City go in without the injured David Silva as well as Vincent Kompany, Yaya and Kolo Toure. Returning to the side though are Joe Hart, Gareth Barry and Mario Balotelli.

For Liverpool, Steven Gerrard, Craig Bellamy and Andy Carroll all start:

Been having computer issues in getting this thread started. Poor red card decision to begin the match.

The teams are in and Roberto Mancini has made a number of changes from the defeat at Sunderland, including David Sulva and Sergio Aguero, whilst Liverpool - without the banned Luis Suarez - decide not to include either Steven Gerrard or Craig Bellamy.

The teams are in and Roberto Mancini has chosen to rest some key players for todays game, no doubt with an eye on the home fixture against Liverpool in forty-eight hours time:

#SAFC: Mignolet. Gardner, Colback, Brown, O'Shea, Larsson, McClean, Cattermole (C), Vaughan, Sessegnon, Bendtner.
