DC: Vincent Kompany
Back to his best this season, City captain Vincent Kompany keeps his place as one of the two main centre-backs.
DC: Nicolas Otamendi
Coming in for £28.5m, Nicolas Otamendi could now replace Eliaquim Mangala as Kompany’s first choice defensive partner.
MC: Fabian Delph
An £8m signing from Aston Villa, Fabian Delph is currently injured but could become first choice on his return.
MC: Yaya Toure
City’s star player in midfield, Yaya Toure is an undisputed starter for basically every game.
