Three Premier League sides are in action on Wednesday evening looking to take the first step towards reaching the last four of Europe's premier cup competition, and we've got the team news for you...

TOTTENHAM vs MAN CITY

Sergio Aguero has returned from injury to take his place in Manchester City's starting line-up to face Tottenham.
The Argentine striker missed the FA Cup semi-final win over Brighton after suffering a muscle strain against Fulham, but he has been named from the start to face Spurs by Pep Guardiola, with Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling in support.
Fabian Delph has been named at left-back in the absence of the injured Oleksandr Zinchenko, with the versatile player preferred to Benjamin Mendy, who is not even named on the bench.
Mauricio Pochettino has opted to play a back four for the first leg at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Toby Alderweireld partnering Jan Vertonghen, while Harry Winks returns to midfield alongside Moussa Sissoko having not started the last three Premier League games.
Ben Davies drops out the the side that beat Crystal Palace 2-0 in the Premier League last Wednesday.

Full Line-Ups

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Trippier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Sissoko, Winks, Eriksen, Dele, Son, Kane.
Subs: Gazzaniga, Davies, Sanchez, Foyth, Wanyama, Lucas, Llorente.
Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Laporte, Otamendi, Delph, Fernandinho, Gundogan, Silva, Mahrez, Sterling, Aguero.

LIVERPOOL vs PORTO

Joe Gomez has been named in Liverpool's squad for the first time since early December, with the young England centre-back among the substitutes for the Champions League quarter-final with Porto.
Gomez has been sidelined with a fractured leg, but his return is a huge boost for Jurgen Klopp's side, who are without the suspended Andy Robertson.
The Scotland full-back has been replaced by James Milner, as expected, while Naby Keita retains his place in midfield alongside Jordan Henderson and Fabinho.
Dejan Lovren is preffered to Joel Matip in defence as Klopp makes three changes in total from the side that beat Southampton 3-1 at St Mary's on Friday night.
