Aguero returns for Manchester City's clash with Leicester

Sergio Aguero has returned to Manchester City's starting line-up for Tuesday's clash with Leicester City.

The Argentine, who suffered a heel injury earlier in December, was an unused substitute in the 4-1 win over Sunderland on Boxing Day but now replaces Wilfried Bony in attack.

City are otherwise unchanged from the side than comfortably beat Sunderland, although Vincent Kompany fails to make the matchday squad after suffering a recurring calf problem on Saturday.

Pellegrini has also named 20-year-old midfielder James Horsfield on the bench.

Leicester make two changes following their 1-0 defeat to Liverpool on Boxing Day as Gokhan Inler and Danny Drinkwater replace Andy King and Shinji Okazaki.

LEICESTER CITY: Schmeichel; Simpson, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs; Inler, Drinkwater, Kanté; Mahrez, Vardy, Albrighton.

SUBS: De Laet, King, Okazaki, Ulloa, Dyer, Wasilewski, Schwarzer.

MANCHESTER CITY: Hart, Sagna, Otamendi, Mangala, Kolarov, Silva, Fernandinho, Toure, Sterling, De Bruyne, Aguero.

SUBS: Caballero, Demichelis, Horsfield, Zabaleta, Navas, Bony, Iheanacho
