Expected Starting XI

                                     Hart
Richards         Lescott           Kompany         Clichy
                         Y.Toure         Barry
    David Silva                                          Nasri
                         Aguero           Dzeko

Subs: Taylor, K.Toure, Milner, Johnson, Tevez, Kolarov, Balotelli

Predicted Position: 2nd
Top Player: David Silva
Top Scorer: Edin Dzeko

Man City will have a strong season again and the summer signings Aguero, Nasri and Clichy are fantastic signings. They will be a stronger force then last season, no doubt about it. However they are a very narrow side with Silva and Nasri (both attacking midfielders) playing on the wings. The two full backs Clichy and richards might have their work cut out. Neverless Man city will have a better season then last season and will be a strong force to stop.
