De Jong
Johnson
Tevez
Subs: Given, Zabaleta, Lescott, SWP, Vieira, Silva, Ballotelli,
I know we should be resting people, but Tevez, Kolarov and De Jong have only recently come back from a ban, Milner has been on the bench in recent weeks, Barry and Yaya have been great recently and therefore should keep their place to enable them to continue their great form. When someone is in great form, taking them out for a bit can disrupt their momentum and ruin that form. I really hope AJ starts, he really deserves to start and I really can't understand why Mancini seems to almost refuse to start him. Silva needs a rest, he's one of our most used players this season and AJ is a great replacement.
Could get the likes of Vieira, SWP and Ballotelli on later in the game if possible to help prevent others from getting tired.
