James Milner is willing to play centrally for Manchester City against Manchester United today.
The 28-year-old has played in nearly every outfield position during his career and would not be daunted by switching from wide to the centre if manager Manuel Pellegrini opts for one up front.
Milner said: "It doesn't bother me where I play - I just want to be in the team. But I think my best position is in the middle and if the manager thinks I can do a job there against United then I'll be ready.
"I don't know what his thoughts are but I was bought as a central midfielder and I've had a bit more time in there this season, though mainly I have been used wide.
"I'd rather be in a team with David Silva than without him. He will be a massive loss for us because he is such a great player.
"But we have got a strong squad. When one top player drops out, another one comes straight in."
