To say that Marko Arnautovic has had his issues this year would be the understatement of the day.
The transfer saga followed by injury and a delayed return to the first team again has not helped him in the eyes of many fans.
But finally, against Fulham, we started to see a change of body language as he put himself about in pursuit of the form we have all come to expect.
The manager gave him around half an hour within which period he hit the crossbar and provided the assist for Mikey Antonio’s goal.
Now comes Manchester City and our poll today focuses on Marko’s role within that game and notably whether the manager should let him loose from the start against the title chasers.
So start casting your votes right away and let us know your views. The question is dead simple: “Should Manuel Pellegrini start Marko Arnautovic at the Etihad?.”
