MAN CITY v Juventus – BOATENG DEBUT and Starts for Johnson, Vieira, Adebayor

Roberto Mancini has decided to make a number of changes to the side which superbly defeated Chelsea in the last match, although despite his decision, it’s still a supremely strong team put out by the Blues. Jerome Boateng comes in for his much awaited debut, whilst Emmanuel Adebayor, who this week has been superb in training, replaces James Milner. Patrick Vieira is added in place of the rested Nigel de Jong and surprisingly, David Silva is replaced in the starting elven by Adam Johnson. Here is the team in full:
