Manchester City boss Mark Hughes is confident his players are prepared for his rotation policy.

"It is all about options and flexibility. I have got great players. Last weekend I took Robinho off and brought Carlos Tevez on," he smiled.

"Those options were not available to me last season. I don't have a problem with it at all. Everyone has a part to play here it is a squad game and at times people will start and at other they will not. They will all be expected to have an impact and that is how we will cope with it."
