Squad sheets: Manchester City v West Bromwich Albion

The defeat by Aston Villa and the subsequent draw at Birmingham City on Wednesday evening has left Manchester City eight points behind Manchester United and with Aleksandar Kolarov, their Serbian left-back, stating that they must defeat West Bromwich Albion if they are to retain any hopes of winning a first championship since 1968. For Roberto Di Matteo's side the bunching at the bottom means they could drop into the relegation places if they lose and other results elsewhere go against them.
