Aguero was left out at the weekend in favour of Gabriel Jesus with manager Pep Guardiola explaining that Benjamin Mendy's injury means he can no longer play his two strikers together.
Guardiola rotates for the Champions League with Aguero captaining a side that sees City revert to a back four, with Yaya Toure and Ilkay Gundogan in front of them.
U17 World Cup winner Phil Foden is also on the bench, along with Brahim Diaz.
Manchester City - Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Mangala, Danilo, Toure, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Sterling, Aguero.
Feyenoord - Jones, Diks, Van Beek, Tapia, Haps, Amrabat, Toornstra, Vilhena, Berghuis, Boetius, Larsson
