After his attempts to outfox Liverpool with a 3-1-3-3 formation backfired in the Champions League on Tuesday night, Pep Guardiola looks set to return to the 4-3-3 system that has produced Manchester City’s best football this season when his side travel to Wembley to face Tottenham on Saturday.
But with so many offensive options available to Guardiola, especially now Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero have returned from injury, who starts where isn’t quite as clear as it was a few months ago – and Raheem Sterling’s berth on the right wing may well be under threat.
Indeed, summer signing Bernardo Silva – who Transfermarkt value at £36million – was arguably City’s most effective player in midweek, coming close to putting his side two goals up with a beautiful curler that deflected onto the post from Dejan Lovren’s head.
Sterling, meanwhile, provided an assist in a more central role but it was an otherwise forgettable performance from the former Reds youngster.
So, which attacker would you start on the right wing against Spurs on Saturday – the Portuguese playmaker or the 37-cap Englishman? Let us know by voting below…
Sorry folks, this poll is now closed!
