Martin Demichelis steps in to make his debut, pushing Javi Garcia into midfield and Yaya Toure presumably into his bulldozer/ruthless killer CAM role. Sergio Aguero is preferred to Alvaro Negredo as the lone striker. Perhaps this is a lesson from the Bayern match, in terms of tactical setup? Should be a cracking match.

Comment away...
