Pep Guardiola sent Manchester City centre-back selection message ahead of Aston Villa clash

Manchester City fans have urged Pep Guardiola to play a centre-back pairing of Fernandinho and John Stones against Aston Villa on Saturday. City have suffered due to their lack of options following the departure of Vincent Kompany and the injuries of Aymeric Laporte and John Stones. Stones, Fernandinho and Nicolas Otamendi could be fit to face Aston Villa to the Etihad. MEN Sport asked City fans 'Who should play centre-back for Man City against Aston Villa?' and the pairing of the Brazilian and Englishman were overwhelming winners with 60 per cent of the 694 voters.
