As you say, Aleks Kolarov's link up play and overlapping runs from deep with Nasri have been a feature of some of City's best attacking moments this season and at home we should be taking the game to our opponents and Nasty does a decent job of covering Kolarov's absences when he's at the other end of the field. Zeus and Aleks are our best crossers of the ball and it's going to take guile and variety to break down Spuds efficient defence.

His link up play with Nasri has been excellent this season and with Silva injured Kolarov will be key for providing on outlet on the left for Nasri as Kolarov likes to get to the byline more often than Clichy. I also think it's vital for City to press Spurs high up the pitch so I'm hoping YaYa doesn't shirk his defensive responsibilities. I think Kolarov should get the nod over Clichy for this match.

I think bothsides will score plenty of goals with Nasri and Aguero having big games. City 4-2 Spurs. Good dquad except I’d play kolorov in place of clichy based on current form.
