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

Jesus Navas

Hull are likely to provide a tough test for City on Monday, and the visitors may need to stretch the pitch and get the ball wide to have success against the Tigers.

Raheem Sterling looks to have re-found his confidence and was excellent against Arsenal last weekend, and Guardiola may employ Jesus Navas down the other flank at the KCOM Stadium.

Although his final ball often lets him down, it does appear to have improved this season, and was of course the reason for Gary Cahill’s own goal against Chelsea a few weeks ago.

The 31-year-old could give the Hull defence serious issues with his pace on Monday, and it could be an area that wins the game for City.
