Antonio could get the call for City
Victor Moses – despite making a great start to his Hammers loan period against Newcastle – has played a limited number of games over the last couple of seasons is still working hard on his fitness.
And Antonio’s strength and power – rather than Moses’ flair – may be seen as a better option in this particular match against the leaders.
The former Nottingham Forest star is continuing to impress enormously in training and is a certainty for the squad and we have been told it will be a tight call between him and Moses for the starting role.
ClaretandHugh was told by training ground insiders: “The two were neck and neck for the game against Newcastle and it would be no surprise were he Michail to start with Victor coming off the bench.
“This is such a strong squad with everybody putting pressure on each other but it is true that Mihail continues to look tremendous in training.”
