Midfielders:

Manchester City welcome back Fernandinho from his suspension, and will be eligible to play Sunday. Ilkay Gundogan has had a great spell as the replacement for Fernie, but no one does the role quite like the Brazilian.

I would like to see David Silva given the rest of the season to spend with family. The title is done, the Blues are not battling for anything and he has served us well this season, under immense personal difficulty.

Professional at al times, and playing to a high standard when pulling on the shirt, the time has come when he needs to focus 100% on matters elsewhere. Ilkay Gundogan can easily move into his place, with Kevin De Bruyne making his usual start.
