Vincent Kompany

City’s skipper and defensive anchor has to be at the very top of his game to make sure that the likes of Angel Di Maria and co are kept quiet.

When on song, Kompany can deliver performances that are not only a masterclass in defence but also inspire and lead his side.

City have never needed that more than this week, with a crucial game coming up in the league and also one that will have a huge say in their Champions League hopes as well.
