A handful of injuries has forced Manuel Pellegrini to make some changes. David Silva, Matija Nastasic, and Ferandinho all miss out through injury to allow Joleon Lescott, Javi Garcia, and James Milner to step in. A lot of people were expecting Jesus Navas to start for Silva but Milner was always an option as well. Who'd have thought we'd see Richards, Demichelis, Lescott, Kolarov, and Pants all starting at this point in the season?
