Yaya Toure vs Michael Carrick
The 31-year-old Ivorian has bagged 10 goals and eight assists in all competitions for the Citizens this season and constantly carries a threat. Michael Carrick, on the other hand, is enjoying somewhat of a career renaissance having returned from injury. It is no coincidence that Manchester United’s impressive recent form has happened with Carrick back in the side as he gives their back four an added air of calmness and will do his best to disrupt opposition attacks and pass out from the back.
