Attackers:

So Sergio Aguero has been the main man up front since Gabby Jesus got injured. This past Sunday though the little Brazilian came back on the field and wound up Wilshire. I would like to see what he might be able to do from the start of a game.

He was only on the field for a little over 13 minutes but stood in front of a free kick to anger Jack, before then pulling him into a verbal altercation, which resulted in the booking. Jack is in danger of becoming another Joey Barton, easily annoyed and not subtle with his retaliation.

Aguero is deserving of the rest, he won’t like it, but he needs it. There are a lot of big games coming up and I think City will benefit if they managed to rotate some positions a little bit more.

On the left I think we have to see what Leroy Sane can do over a full 90 minutes. He was the one who came off for Jesus, but he had the Arsenal defence nervous every time he got the ball.

On the right, I love Bernardo Silva. With Raheem out injured it seems the Portuguese Pixie is taking his chance with both hands.
