Defenders:

I think it will be just the one, enforced change, when City step out onto the Etihad pitch on Saturday. All of that back four who started at Liverpool need to make

amends for the unit performance. Nicolas Otamendi was rewarded with a new contract recently, and I expect him to step back in Saturday with a commanding performance.

Along side him it could be another chance for John Stones to get back to this seasons level of performance. Recently he has thrown back to last seasons performance, and that gets more concerning the more consecutive games that goes on.

On the right, Kyle Walker will once again have the chance to terrorize down the right while Danilo is most likely to start with the news that Fabian Delph is out injured.
