Defensive Mid #2 – Yaya Toure

Who would have thought even a month ago Yaya would not only be in City’s starting line-up but in the a combined best XI? A series of bad results for City, plus the suspension to Fernandinho gave Toure his return. He has repaid that faith to Pep and looks to stay in the line-up with Ilkay taking on a bad knee injury. Arsenal’s Xhaka has quality, but also is still prone to mistakes. We will take Yaya as the more attacking defensive mid.
