Manchester City’s best XI after 11 Premier League matches

LB – Aleksandar Kolarov

As much as Aleksandar Kolarov is far from the best defender the Premier League has ever seen, he has done alright at City this season.

Although he was poor against Tottenham back in September, the Serbian clearly retains the backing of his manager, given that only Stones has played more matches than Kolarov this season.

An incredible left foot and set-piece specialist, the 30-year-old gives City something else going forward and, although he’ll likely leave in the summer, he can do a job for Guardiola this season.
