Team News: Guardiola drops Walker, Silva, Jesus as Aguero goes for record

Pep Guardiola has decided against starting all of his top players for Manchester City’s Champions League match with Napoli on Wednesday.

Kyle Walker, David Silva and Gabriel Jesus all find themselves on the bench to begin the Group F clash at the Stadio San Paolo in Naples.

With nine points and first in the group, City can lock up a spot in the knockout stage with a result tonight. But with Arsenal looming Sunday, Guardiola may be giving the trio a mid-week break with the club already well-positioned to advance.

Sergio Aguero is in the XI however, as the striker looks to secure his place in club history by moving into first all-time on their goalscoring charts.
