Manuel Pellegrini’s side have won both of their games so far this season, which included an impressive victory over fellow title contenders Liverpool last weekend.
Looking to maintain momentum, we believe City will line up as below.
GK: Joe Hart
The England star will likely keep his place ahead of Willy Caballero once again.
RB: Pablo Zabaleta
The Argentine will be a strong candidate to be an ever present this season, which speaks volumes about his influence.
CB: Vincent Komapny
The skipper will be hoping that he is over the worst of his injury worries this term.
CB: Martin Demichelis
Demichelis has certainly grown into his role in City’s defence after a stuttering start.
LB: Aleksander Kolarov
Will probably displace Gael Clichy, whose early season form has been a major talking point.
CM: Yaya Toure
The Ivorian will be looking to replicate the electric form of last season, providing he’s got over the disappointment of not having a birthday cake.
CM: Fernando
The new boy has settled well into life at the Etihad, and will look to stay back so Toure can surge forward.
LM: David Silva
Silva will provide a tangible threat down the left and will move forward with confidence with Kolarov backing him up.
RM: Samir Nasri
Back in top form again now that he no longer has the burden of international football to worry about.
SS: Stevan Jovetic
Already showing why Pellegrini brought him on board, he will look to make up for lost time this season.
ST: Sergio Aguero
Now back to peak fitness, it won’t be long before he’s in double figures.
