He's picked some odd line-ups, but this is the strangest.

I wouldn't say it's that strange.Mancini really likes a a blatant holding midfield player hence Garcia ( even though he has missed some training this week) then I feel he wanted to include Rodwell so it gives Yaya more freedom.I quite like the team as long as there is plenty of movement for Yaya and Silva to play with.

The only sense i can make of it is if he is playing a 4-3-2-1 with yaya and silva in advanced midfield roles supporting Aguero.I just feel he has left himself open to questioning if things go tits up today.

Strange lineup. That said yaya pushing on used to work wonders behind Tevez.

I think it'll be Milner & Silva wide & Yaya off Aguero. I like the idea of going back to this 4-2-3-1 in a 'big game' instead of 2 forwards leaving us light in midfield, but still not scoring enough.
