Second Centerback: Nicolas Otamendi

As we noted last week, the Argentine has greatly improved and pairs nicely with Stones. He is more aggressive at times, but typically Stones will be there to cover up.

Kompany could have had this spot, but given that he is coming back from injury and played over the weekend, he wouldn’t be pushed into two games in four days.
