Raheem Sterling is in fantastic form and, while I hate to rest players while they are on a roll, I think putting him on the bench for this game wouldn’t be a bad option.

Bernardo Silva could certainly do a role on the right, albeit maybe not as wide as Sterling. Danilo could probably provide width down that side, while Leroy Sane would provide it on the left.

Up front I was not impressed with Sergio Aguero in the Newcastle game. I would like to see what Gabriel Jesus could do against this Crystal Palace side and so I would give him the nod.

Sergio Aguero would certainly be on the bench and maybe get a run out later in the game. He has started the last couple or so games though at the expense of the Brazilian. Now I think it’s time to change it.
