Dream midfield?

Today is the first time Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva have played together and that could spell danger for Swansea.

It will be fascinating to see how the creative trio interact and who plays where, though expect De Bruyne to play on the flank given Guardiola’s recent comments that he sees the Belgian as a wider player.

With Raheem Sterling on the right and Sergio Aguero also back from suspension, the Blues have a formidable look about them.

Can the Blues make it a perfect 10?

Pep says it’s impossible to play well every week but the Blues look as though they can have an off-day and still win - but time will tell.

It’s a team packed with attacking talent and the first time Gundogan, KDB, Silva, Sterling and Aguero have played together. The hosts will need to be at their best this afternoon to end a miserable run of results.
