4-1-4-1: This Man City XI will cruise past Borussia M’gladbach in the Champions League

RB: Pablo Zabaleta

Guardiola’s new style which has been implemented at City encourages the full-backs to be involved as much as possible, pushing in behind the midfield whenever his side are pushing forward.

This is a big change for the Sky Blues squad which will require a lot of hard work adapting and in terms of physical output during the game, meaning that rotation is crucial. With that in mind, it is fair to assume that Zabaleta will come in for Sagna, who started at Old Trafford.
