Zabaleta is hoping to be fit for the trip to Blackpool's Bloomfield Road ground after limping out of the Juventus game with a hamstring tweak. The injury forced him to pull out of Argentina?s friendly in Japan, but he hopes to resume training late next week. Boss Roberto Mancini has also hinted that Mario Balotelli could be unleashed on Arsenal at Eastlands on October 24. The Italy striker has been out since damaging a knee meniscus on his goalscoring City debut at Timisoara in August, but was last week told by specialists that recent surgery had been successful and he could step up rehabilitation. With Aleksandar Kolarov pushing to be back for the Blackpool game, the Blues are nearing full strength. What is City's best XI?
