Guardiola should give these 3 Man City players a chance on Boxing Day

John Stones

Manchester City have looked better defensively in the last few games, and in that time John Stones has been sat on the bench.

However, given that Guardiola is clearly fond of the former Everton man, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him return against Hull as the manager looks to restore some confidence in the 22-year-old.

The England international has made some defensive errors this season, and has rightly been criticised for it, yet Guardiola has Stones playing the way he wants his defenders to play, so it’s only a matter of time before he returns to the side.

And it could happen on Monday.
