It seems that Roberto Mancini has decided that Juan Jesus will play as left fullback to stop Juan Cuadrado. Alex Telles who has played the last games will hence be benched this game with JJ making a comeback in the starting eleven. The rest of the eleven is more or less decided according to Sportmediaset and should look like this; Handanovic; Santon, Miranda, Murillo, Juan Jesus; Guarin, Felipe Melo, Medel;Perisic; Jovetic, Icardi.

Of course, JJ is alot better than Telles.
good move to play JJ full back as he is stronger then telles honestly
He showed great strength and desire against Milan. I hope he has another great match, we need to be especially careful against Cuadrado, who has great skill and pace but has also started diving since he joined Jube
Guarin as a starter, Perisic as trequartista and we’ll lose the game!
Where is kondo?
if this is out starting 11, we should only be playing 4-2-3-1 with Guarin in front of the two rough-riders. Perisic on the left, jovetic on the right, and il capitano upfront.
Defence is key and telles could be a very good sub to widen the play
Against cuadrado, jj is the best decision since he can defend better than telles
