Hoping that Fernando & Jovetic are ready to return, how about the following
Willie, Sagna, Demichelis, Mangala, Clichy, Fernando, Navas, Nasri, Sinclair, Milner & Jovetic. The bench could be interesting with one or two of the more forward EDS players being considered surely

Probably a million miles away, but I would like to see this, with maybe Silva and Aguero coming on, and maybe Fernando if he is ready for half an hour
"If we fire our manager after just one bad season - We'll become Chelsea"
"If we think we can fix the problem by buying expensive players - We'll become City"
"If we remember the good times to entertain us during the bad times - We'll become Liverpool"
So, keep calm and do it the United way
"We invest in young players, That is what we are good at — we’re not like other clubs who can spend fortunes on proven goods. We know that Manchester City are going to pay stupid money, pay silly salaries and all that. We can’t do anything about it. We concentrate on what we can do to try to bring players in for the right reasons. We invest in those who will be with the club for a long time, who will create the character of the club, who will create excitement for our fans. We are very proud of that and we are going to continue that way" - Alex Ferguson 14th May 2012

I can't see Fernando playing in this and I doubt Jovetic is near fit to play. I assume Zaba's one game suspension is against Sheff wed and not a league game?
Big Willy
Sagna Boyata Nastasic Kolarov
Milner Super Fwank
Navas Nasri Sinclair
Dzeko
That's the team I think MP will play.

I reckon Demi and Boyata in the middle as MP has said Nasty is not even fourth choice. A lot will depend if either Fernando or Jojo have recovered, if so they could get 45-60 mins to get them up to speed. frank said at the weekend he would like more playing time so ecpect to see him.

Nasri is injured, as are Fernando, Aguero, Silva and Jovetic. Zabaleta is suspended.

Leigh is at Crewe.
We need to rest who we can but need to put out a strong team, Sheff Weds are the best they have been for the last 12 years and will come with no pressure.
Lets not do a Wigan

Manuel Pellegrini has confirmed that five City players will miss the Capital One Cup clash with Sheffield Wednesday through injury. Sergio Aguero, David Silva, Samir Nasri, Fernando and Stevan Jovetic join the suspended Pablo Zabaleta on the sidelines as City get their defence of the Capital One Cup under way against the Owls at the Etihad Stadium.
However, the manager declared in his pre-match press conference that Aguero and Silva are likely to recover in time to face Hull on Saturday, while Jovetic and Fernando are also nearing a return.
Pellegrini said: "For tomorrow Sergio Aguero is not in the squad list because he has a problem with his knee, David Silva has a problem with his ankle and Pablo Zabaleta is suspended. Fernando and Stevan Jovetic are continuing to recover from their injuries and Samir Nasri has a groin problem.
"I think David and Sergio will recover without any problems for Saturday, Stevan will maybe be ready but if he cannot play on Saturday he will be ready for Tuesday. Fernando and Nasri will wait until next week."
The manager is therefore likely to name a changed line-up for the visit of the Owls, and he added: "All the players during this year, especially now we have to play seven games in 21 days, will have an opportunity to show what they can do."
Pellegrini cautioned that Sheffield Wednesday are enjoying a good run of form coming into this clash at the Etihad Stadium, and will present a difficult obstacle to progress in the competition which gave City's boss his first trophy on English soil last March.
The Chilean declared: "Every time that we play in this competition, and not only our team but every team, when you play against a Championship team it is very difficult. The motivation is not the same and they will come here and try to win.
"We had different experiences last season. We were eliminated here in the FA Cup against Wigan who were a Championship team.
"We won the Capital One Cup and we hope that tomorrow we can start in the same way as we played [in that competition] last year, because we won it with conceding just one goal and winning all our games.
"I know Sheffield Wednesday are in a very good moment and in the last ten games they have only lost one, but I am sure that tomorrow that the team will be conscious that we are playing to continue in the Capital One Cup."
City are also looking to bounce back after a tricky week of fixtures that pitted them against Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Chelsea within the space of eight days.
While the Premier League Champions are without a win in their last four encounters, Pellegrini insisted he is unconcerned about the team's form after some impressive team displays.
"I think we were very unlucky not to win one of those games," the boss argued. "If you don't win you have some problems that you must improve. But I am not worried because I don't think we are playing badly, especially in the games against Arsenal and Chelsea when we played very well.
"But it is important now for us to start adding three points in every game."
Asked about recent rumours concerning Sunday's goalscorer, Frank Lampard, he added: "Frank will stay with us until January. Before January he has nothing to do in the United States because they are not working. In January we will see what is happening here and we will make a decision then.

Nasri was on the bench less than 48 hours ago? Didn't play and now he is injured? This would have been good for him, I dont like it with no Nasri and Silva in the team.
