Rio Ferdinand, Joe Cole and Joleon Lescott have all expressed their surprise and dismay at Manchester City's team selection for their Champions League final with Chelsea.
City manager Pep Guardiola has omitted captain Fernandinho and fellow holding midfielder Rodri from his line-up - instead opting for the more attacking qualities of Bernando Silva alongside Kevin De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan.
And speaking on BT Sport ahead of the final, Ferdinand warned City that they have a poor track record when it comes to bold starting XI choices under Guardiola.
