So my prediction of Tevez starting tonight was unfounded as Roberto Mancini makes a number of changes - particular to the defence, opting to start with Hart, Richards, Boyata, Lescott, Zabaleta, de Jong, Vieira, Wright-Phillips, Johnson, Silva and Adebayor.
It looks to be a 4-2-3-1 line-up with Tevez, Kompany, Milner and Yaya Toure all rested ahead of Sunday's visit by Arsenal.
Comment away...
