    Claudio Bravo is back.

    The Chilean returns to the Manchester City starting line-up for the first time since 21 January, when he conceded twice in a 2-2 draw with Tottenham, when the visitors only had two shots.

    Prior to that, all four Everton shots ended up going past him in a 4-0 defeat at Goodison Park.

    Should the Chilean actually save anything, it would therefore be the first shot on target he had saved since 2 January.

    Manchester City v Hull (15:00 BST)

    Manchester City make four changes to the side beaten at Chelsea in midweek.

    Claudio Bravo replaces Willy Cabellero in goal, while Aleksandar Kolarov comes in for Vincent Kompany at centre-back.

    There are also starts for Yaya Toure and Raheem Sterling, as Fernandinho and Kevin de Bruyne drop out of Pep Guardiola's starting XI.

    Hull City make three changes to the side that beat Middlesbrough.

    Harry Maguire is replaced by Michael Dawson in the heart of defence, while Omar Elabdellaoui and Evandro also come into the side in place of Sam Clucas and Abel Hernandez.

  5. Pep v Marcopublished at 2:30

    Manchester City v Hull (15:00 BST)

    Two sides aiming to achieve very different targets, two sides in contrasting form.

    But it's Marco Silva's Hull City outfit who have the momentum of late, climbing out of the relegation zone after back-to-back victories.

    Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola can't seem to buy a win at the minute - his team have not won in the top flight since a trip to Sunderland in early March.

    City want to cement a Champions League spot, the Tigers' goal is just Premier League survival.

    Can Pep rip up the form book? Or will Marco turn the table on its head?
