Guardiola should give these 3 Man City players a chance against Arsenal

Bacary Sagna

Fernandinho played at right-back in City’s 1-1 draw with Liverpool prior to the international break, and although he did well there, it’s not his natural position, and is certainly something Alexis Sanchez will look to exploit on Sunday.

Thus, Guardiola may call upon former Gunners defender Bacary Sagna to slot in at full-back.

The 34-year-old has struggled with injury in recent weeks but looks set to be available for selection at the Emirates, and that may be good news for Guardiola given that Sanchez is once again likely to start wide on the left.

Sagna is also playing for his future at the club, his contract runs out at the end of the season, so a stellar display against his former employers could do him the world of good, and indeed set City on their way to all three points.
