Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has named Frank Lampard in his starting XI for the visit of Bayern Munich.
Lampard takes his place in a five-man midfield alongside James Milner, Fernando, Jesus Navas and Samir Nasri.

Manchester City: Hart, Sagna, Kompany (C), Mangala, Clichy, Fernando, Navas, Lampard, Milner, Nasri, Aguero… Subs: Caballero, Zabaleta, Demichelis, Boyata, Jovetic, Glendon, Pozo.
Bayern: Neuer; Rafinha, Benatia, Boateng, Bernat; Hojbjerg, Alonso, Rode; Robben, Ribery, Lewandowski… Subs: Zingerle, Dante, Shaqiri, Goetze, Mueller, Schweinsteiger, Gaudino.
