If City only need one goal to top the group why are they bringing on a midfielder for a striker?

I would be very surprised if Vermaelen starts, unless there is severe fatigue.

manage a draw with 4 or 5 rested. Maybe he'll keep the same back 5 and rotate elsewhere.

I am amazed you are so confident that we won't get beaten by 3.

and probably to a side better than Napoli.

These games always tricky. Especially for attacking sides who don't quite know how to approach the game and don't have the usual incentive to go forward and score goals.

Napoli know exactly what they need to do and if we don't score, a goal at any point in the first 70-80 minutes would give them a HUGE boost.

but if we have our usual defenders we'll be fine. Get a goal, then start subbing.
