Manchester City vs Burnley confirmed XIs and team news: Aguero and Foden start; De Bruyne on bench

Sergio Aguero and Phil Foden have both been named in Manchester City's starting XI to face Burnley on Monday night, but Kevin De Bruyne is only listed among the substitutes.

Aguero was restricted to a second-half cameo against Arsenal in the first match of the Premier League's restart on Wednesday, but gets the nod over Gabriel Jesus for City's second successive outing at the Etihad Stadium as Pep Guardiola shuffles his talented pack.

The Spaniard makes eight changes in total, with only goalkeeper Ederson, captain David Silva and Riyad Mahrez retaining their starting berths from last week.

As for Burnley, playing in their first competitive fixture for three months, Johann Berg Gudmundsson, Chris Wood, Ashley Barnes, Robbie Brady and Ben Gibson all miss out, with Matej Vydra and Jay Rodriguez leading the line.

Sean Dyche only names seven out of an available nine substitutes - two of which are young goalkeepers.

He appears to have chosen not to select any players who are set to see their contracts expire at the end of the month.

Manchester City: Ederson, Cancelo, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Zinchenko, Rodrigo, D Silva (C), Foden, Bernardo, Mahrez, Aguero

Subs: Carson, Walker, Sterling, Gundogan, G Jesus, Laporte, De Bruyne, Sane, Mendy

Burnley: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Brownhill, Westwood, Cork, McNeil, Rodriguez, Vydra

Subs: Peacock-Farrell, Pieters, Long, Thompson, Dunne, Thomas, Jensen
