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

Aleksandar Kolarov

Guardiola has a decision to make at the back, whether to go for a flat back four or potentially a back three.

Nonetheless, you’d expect Aleksandar Kolarov to come back into the side, either at centre-half or at left-back.

The Serbian international has appeared 36 times for City this term, only Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling, and John Stones have played more, so Guardiola clearly trusts his ability, be it in a three or a four.

He’s unlikely to play at left-back given Theo Walcott’s pace, but could relish the prospect of coming up against Olivier Giroud down the middle, and thus may return to the line-up on Sunday.
