Man City fans rejoice at Pep Guardiola decision vs Chelsea

Some Manchester City fans took to social media to express their delight after Joao Cancelo was restored to the starting line-up for the visit of Chelsea.

Cancelo was an unused substitute against Southampton and Liverpool prior to the international break but comes back into the side in place of Kyle Walker.

The Portugal international joined City from Juventus in the summer for a hefty transfer fee but has been using sparingly by Pep Guardiola in the Premier League, starting just three of City's 12 games so far this season.

Guardiola's decision to start Cancelo ahead of Walker is slightly surprising given the England defender's good form at the beginning of the campaign.

However, fans are happy to see Cancelo get his chance in a big game having sat out the 3-1 defeat at Anfield earlier in November.

Here's what's being said on Twitter in reaction to Guardiola's defensive decision...

Complete.

The perfect double act.

Scenes.

Let's go.

Like it.

Yesssssssssss.
