The Man City legends XI that would play if Vincent Kompany testimonial was a competitive fixture

Pep Guardiola will get to choose from a squad of 22 Manchester City legends in tomorrow night’s testimonial match for Vincent Kompany .

The Blues boss is likely to give 45 minutes to every player, in the interests of fairness, as the all-star line-up faces a Premier League XI which includes Thierry Henry, Paul Scholes , Ryan Giggs and Cesc Fabregas.

But with so many top players in the City squad, and if they were all at the peak of their game, which XI would you choose if it was a serious game?

Goalkeeper is a shoo-in for Joe Hart, but there are tough choices to make, especially in midfield – and especially for the more nostalgic City fans!

We had a go at choosing the best XI from the 22 available – and you can have your say by using our team selector widget at the bottom.

Here are the 22 City names from which to choose – goalkeepers – Hart, Pantilimon; defenders – Kompany, Kolarov, Lescott, Richards, K. Toure, Zabaleta, Dunne, Clichy; midfielders – De Jong, Nasri, Wright-Phillips, Ireland, D. Silva, Hamann, Milner; forwards – Bellamy, Aguero, Dzeko, Balotelli, Benjani.

We also reckon that the top Premier League side would line up as follows: van der Sar; G. Neville, O’Shea, Brown, P. Neville; Carrick, Scholes, Fabregas, Giggs; Henry, van Persie
