Manchester City's embarrassment of riches is showing through again. They've picked a lineup that isn't terribly conventional for them, and given that a number of the players in their team are versatile and can play different positions, the formation is anyone's guess. Sergio Aguero has been left out after a long trip from South America, with Carlos Tevez and Mario Balotelli picked ahead of him. West Brom don't have their captain, Chris Brunt in their starting XI, nor is Romelu Lukaku in their lineup.
Manchester City starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Joe Hart; Gael Clichy, Joleon Lescott, Vincent Kompany, Micah Richards; Yaya Toure, Gareth Barry; Mario Balotelli, Samir Nasri, James Milner; Carlos Tevez
West Bromwich Albion starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Ben Foster; Liam Ridgewell, Jonas Olsson, Gabriel Tamas, Gareth McAuley; Youssuf Mulumbu, Claudio Yacub; James Morrison, Graham Dorrans, Marc-Antoine Fortune; Shane Long
Kickoff is at 3 p.m. local, 10 a.m. ET from The Hawthorns. You can catch the game on FOX Soccer Plus in the United States.
