Guardiola should drop these 3 Manchester City players against Arsenal

Yaya Toure

The midfield maestro was arguably the least impressive performer at St Mary’s Stadium last weekend, despite playing the full 90 minutes for City.

The 33-year-old, who has chipped in with six goals in all competitions this season, has only featured three times in the FA Cup under Guardiola this term, and could be dropped to the bench for Sunday’s semi-final.

Toure wastefully lost possession on numerous occasions against Southampton last time out, and the manager will not want a repeat of that from the Ivorian in such an important fixture.

Guardiola could opt instead to hand starts to either defensive midfielder Fernando, or winger Raheem Sterling, at Wembley, with Toure perhaps able to make an impact from the bench.
