2) Yaya Toure v Lucas Leiva

Yaya Toure will be City’s bombarding, driving central force, and it’ll be up to our in-form anchorman to negate his influence. David Silva, if fit, will drift around fluidly, but the giant Ivorian will provide Lucas a more obvious, central target. Lucas is a big game player. He regularly arrives and puts in key performances against the best players, and it’s when we only expect him to contribute defensively that he’s most effective. It’ll be the Brazilian’s job to steal possession and keep hold of it cleverly. He’s more than capable of doing exactly that.
