Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus have not started a Premier League game together for 16 months but will kick-off against Aston Villa.
Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus have not started a Premier League game together for 16 months but will kick-off against Aston Villa.
Manchester City captain David Silva will make his first Premier League start for a month at Aston Villa, where Pep Guardiola has selected Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus in his XI.
Silva, who will end a 10-year association with City when his contract expires at the end of this season, sustained a thigh injury during December's 2-1 defeat to Manchester United and made brief substitute appearances against Everton and Port Vale at the start of this month.
Aguero and Jesus last started a Premier League game in tandem against Newcastle United in September 2018.
It means Guardiola has granted Aguero a shot at overhauling Thierry Henry as the Premier League's leading overseas goalscorer. The Argentina striker is on 174, one behind Henry's record mark.
