But Fernandinho has been prefered at right-back as City look to seal their place in next season's Champions League.

Pep Guardiola has made two changes from his side's victory over Leicester City, with Sergio Aguero partnering Gabriel Jesus up front and Aleksandar Kolarov coming in at left-back.

That means Raheem Sterling is named on the bench alongside Zabaleta and John Stones, who is returning from a muscular injury.

Manchester City: Caballero; Fernandinho, Kompany, Otamendi, Kolarov; De Bruyne, Toure, Silva, Sane; Jesus, Aguero

West Brom: Foster; Nyom, Dawson, Evans, M Wilson; Livermore, Yacob, Fletcher, Brunt, Chadli; Rondon.
