By far the most talked about event of the week was Eden Hazard’s dropkick-of-death to Swansea ball boy Charlie Morgan.

Will Sir Alex go for just one up front to quell City’s midfield threat, or perhaps go bold? Mancini will not be too proud to admit that Aguero and Tevez are now certainties to start.
