Arsenal legend Ian Wright has named two Manchester City players who he’d start against Chelsea when the two sides meet at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.

The Citizens are heading into their second Premier League fixture since returning from the international break, having drawn 2-2 with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium last week.

And looking ahead to tomorrow night’s game at Stamford Bridge, Ian Wright has named the two players he’d start against Chelsea.

Perhaps surprisingly for the ex-Arsenal frontman, it’s a defensive duo he’s earmarked as crucial to the Blues’ chances.

The Gunners Legend admits that he would field defensive duo Vincent Kompany and John Stone against the Blues if he was City’s manager.

‘If I was Manchester City boss, one of the first names I’d pencil on the team sheet to face Chelsea would be Vincent Kompany,’ Wright told the Manchester City website.

‘Kompany is the no-nonsense, rock-solid defender they’ve lacked at times. And I reckon you’d get even more from John Stones with Vincent alongside him.

‘I’d put Pablo Zabaleta in at fullback, too, to help stifle Marcos Alonso bombing down the left. With that pair in the line-up, Pep can play his five or six forwards and still get at Chelsea.’

Pep Guardiola’s side are currently placed fourth in the Premier League standings with 58 points, and having won 17 out of 29 matches played so far this season, they currently trail the Blues (first place) by 11 points.

Manchester City will now take on Chelsea when the two sides meet for a mouthwatering clash in the Premier League on Wednesday.

The match at Stamford Bridge kicks off at 21:00.
