Torres and Aguero start - Man City fans name starting XI they want to see vs Leeds

Pep Guardiola insists he will not be focussing on the Champions League quarter-final second leg with Borussia Dortmund until after the Leeds game - but fans appear to want a number of changes today.

City hold a 2-1 advantage in that Champions League tie, and travel to Germany for Wednesday's second leg. A game against Leeds is probably not the one he would have picked to play in between, but with a fully fit squad (barring two doubtful players), Guardiola has the luxury of rotation.

City rested Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus against Dortmund, and fans want to see two of that trio return on Saturday to face Leeds.

Using MEN Sport's interactive team selector, the most popular team picked by fans sees outgoing club legend Sergio Aguero lead the line, supported by Sterling and surprisingly Ferran Torres.

Fans are clearly thinking ahead to the Dortmund return leg, with a favoured midfield that sees Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne rested. Instead, they want to see Fernandinho, Ilkay Gundogan, and Bernardo Silva in the midfield trio.

And in defence, fans want to see two changes. Out go John Stones and Kyle Walker, and in come Aymeric Laporte and Aleks Zinchenko. That means Laporte partners Ruben Dias, and Joao Cancelo switches from left to right full-back.

Man City fans XI vs Leeds: Ederson; Cancelo, Dias, Laporte, Zinchenko; Fernandinho, Gundogan, Bernardo; Sterling, Torres, Aguero.
