RW – Jesus Navas
While often criticised for his lack of end product, Navas remains a regular in the starting line up. He faces new competition from record signing Kevin De Bruyne, however, with his place no longer guaranteed. The Belgian is expected to start on the bench, and Navas should be looking to really impress.
AM – Raheem Sterling
In a major blow to the side, David Silva has been ruled out of the clash with an ankle injury, and while Kevin De Bruyne could be thrown straight into action in a No.10 role, this could pave the way for Sterling to start in a central position.
LW – Samir Nasri
The Frenchman is struggling to cement a position for City, but Silva’s late withdrawal could land him a starting place.
