Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has stuck with the same XI that beat neighbours Manchester United at the Etihad on Sunday.
The only change in the 18-man squad sees centre-back Eliaquim Mangala replace Scott Sinclair among the substitutes.
That means that Frank Lampard, who was said to have a chance to return to action, has not been deemed fit enough just yet.
Pellegrini will likely playu a 4-4-2/4-2-3-1 hybrid with Fernando as the holding midfielder, Yaya Toure in a more box-to-box role and Stevan Jovetic providing the link-up with Sergio Aguero.
James Milner will start on the left and Jesus Navas on the right.
LINE-UPS:
Manchester City: Hart, Zabaleta, Clichy, Demichelis, Kompany, Fernando, Yaya Toure, Navas, Milner, Jovetic, Aguero.
Subs: Caballero, Sagna, Boyata, Mangala, Nasri, Dzeko, Fernandinho.
CSKA Moscow: Akinfeev, Mario Fernandes, Ignashevich, V. Berezutski, Schennikov, Wernbloom, Dzagoev, R. Eremenko, Natcho, Musa, Doumbia.
Subs: Chepchugov, A. Berezutski, Nababkin, Efremov, Cauņa, G. Milanov, Bazelyuk.
