Guardiola should give these 3 Man City players a chance in the FA Cup this weekend

Gabriel Jesus’ injury in the win over Bournemouth looks set to rule him out for some time, so Guardiola will need all of his attacking players to chip in with goals over the coming weeks.

And one man that could come in from the cold is Nolito, who moved to the Etihad Stadium last summer for just under £14 million.

The Spanish international has managed just ten starts in all competitions for the Citizens this term, the last of which coming all the way back in their 3-0 victory over Hull on Boxing Day.

The 30-year-old bagged an assist in the 5-0 FA Cup third round win over West Ham last month to outline his attacking credentials, yet with Sergio Aguero now likely to lead the line over the next few weeks, and his past history of injury concerns, Guardiola is unlikely to risk him against Huddersfield.

Thus, Nolito could return to the starting line-up on Saturday.
