Manuel Pellegrini has named Edin Dzeko and Samir Nasri in his starting XI as he looks to kick-start the form of his star man Sergio Aguero.

Aguero has not scored since in the four games he's played since returning from injury on 10 January and missed a brilliant chance against Chelsea last week.

Pellegrini has made one other change from the team that drew 1-1 at Stamford Bridge, Pablo Zabaleta starting at right-back instead of Bacary Sagna. Jesus Navas and James Milner are the two other players who drop to the bench.

New Hull signing Dame N'Doye starts on the bench.

LINE-UPS:

Manchester City: Hart, Clichy, Demichelis, Kompany, Zabaleta, Fernando, Fernandinho, Silva, Dzeko, Aguero, Nasri

Subs: Caballero, Mangala, Kolarov, Navas, Milner, Lampard, Jovetic

Hull City: McGregor, Bruce, Meyler, Huddlestone, Brady, Livermore, McShane, Dawson, Aluko, Ramirez, Elmohamady

Subs: Harper, Davies, Hernandez, Jelavic, Robertson, N'Doye, Quinn
