For years Pep roulette was a regular weekend Premier League staple. Manchester City under Guardiola would regularly rotate and picking a starting XI each week became a difficult task.
That changed into something more settled in recent seasons but there is still an element of guesswork when trying to name a City side.
This term City are unbeaten yet there is a feeling they are yet to click, as is so often the case early in the campaign. Injuries to Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne plus the easing in of Phil Foden have meant questions in midfield and attack while the defence has been reasonably settled if short of clean sheets.
With Rodri out for the season, and City competing on four fronts with a fifth to follow next summer, just how should they line up in the biggest games?
