PEP GUARDIOLA HAS dropped his much-maligned goalkeeper Claudio Bravo for Manchester City’s clash with West Ham tonight.
Willy Caballero was handed a start in City’s FA Cup win over Crystal Palace at the weekend and retains his place but it’s his first top-flight appearance since 28 August, when he also featured against West Ham in a 3-1 win.
Bravo has endured a torrid start to his Premier League career and made a number of well-documented errors.
Up to now, Guardiola has defended the Chilean and pointed a finger of blame at his under-performing defence rather than his under-fire goalkeeper.
But this latest development appears pretty damning.
Guardiola has also elected to drop striker Sergio Aguero to the bench for tonight’s assignment with the Hammers, who hand a debut to defender Jose Fonte.
