Jesus Navas
One of the key aspects of Manchester City’s play under Manuel Pellegrini has been their impressive stretching of play, with wide players staying wide.
Summer signing Jesus Navas has been instrumental in this regard, with his orthodox wing play always allowing an outlet on the right.
Yaya Toure
Yaya Toure was described as a “defensive liability” by Dietmar Hamann on BBC programme Match Of The Day recently, and due to his best work coming in attack, the Ivorian is likely to be selected further up the field.
Toure could be tasked with sitting on Sergio Busquets in possession, to prevent the Barca defence from having an out ball, before bursting beyond him.
