Interesting team selection here, I think we all could have guessed that Adebayor may have been on the bench and that Mancini’s lieutenant Patrick Vieira may start against his old club but the dropping of Onouha really does bemuse me. He’s been brilliant since he’s come back into the team and deserves a run in the side but it’s obvious how highly Mancini rates Zabaleta so that’s who he’s opted for instead. It’s a very strong bench though so let’s really go at Arsenal and take advantage of Spurs’ slip-up.
Do you agree with Mancini’s Team Selection?
