Right Back – Pablo Zabaleta 

Despite being left on the bench last weekend, Zabaleta should return to the starting XI against Bournemouth. His experience helps the younger players in the backline, while his work rate is second to none. I feel Zabaleta plays with his heart on his sleeve, and will give all his effort for Manchester City any day of the week. He has been able to become a weapon down the flanks, while always tracking back to defend. Still a #1 EPL right-back.
