Nothing direct from pep today so far but this from beeb sport

Gaston Ramirez is back in contention for Middlesbrough after missing the win over Sunderland because of suspension.

Fabio could start after coming off the bench in that match, but Victor Valdes and Grant Leadbitter remain sidelined.

Manchester City will be without goalkeeper Claudio Bravo, whose season could be over after he suffered a calf injury in the Manchester derby.

There are concerns over the fitness of David Silva and John Stones, but Bacary Sagna returns after five weeks out.

 

[Chi-town blues]

I think Sane is goosed, he's looked knackered against Arsenal and Utd. Think Nolito should come in for him on Sunday and play Jesus up front with Aguero.

Is nalito injured? Why was he on stand instead of bench yesterday?

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Simon Mullock has just tweeted this:

If he isn't fit I'd love to see Phil Foden on the bench. It's admittedly a bit of wishful thinking at this stage of the season though.

--------------------------Muric/Gunn
Zabaleta------Kompany-----------Otamendi-------Kolarov
-----------------Toure-----------Delph/Dinho
De Bruyne----------------Silva----------------------G. Jesus
---------------------------Aguero

Change it up a bit, Sterling and Sane have looked tired recently. Lets play one of the younger lads in net, got to think about the future surely.

I think we will see a fair bit of rotation and wouldn't be surprised to see a line-up something like this
Cab
clichy, kolarov, otomendi, sagna
dinho fernando
RS kdb Navas
Kun

bench : Vinnie, Zaba, YaYa, Garcia, Gunn, GJ, Sane

I wouldn't expect GJ to start and maybe Delph could get a look in if he is fit. I thinkk 3 games in a week in pushing it for Vinnie. Even with a less than full strength team we should win this match

On saying that I haven't predicted any line-up correctly this season :-)

 

[kaz7]

Victor Valdes, Grant Leadbitter and Daniel Ayala are all major injury doubts for Middlesbrough against City on Sunday.

 

[cadds92]

I reckon Aguero will be rested here,

Jesus to lead the line.

Jesus won't last 95 mins,sergio doesn't need resting,put them together later in the game,5 games to go,if not injured no-one needs resting

Simply have to win this no less than 3pts.

Caballero

Zaba Kompany Otamendi Clichy

Fernandinho

Sterling KDB Silva Sane

Aguero

Hopefully Silva is fit Jesus will be on the bench again imo. Boro are Championship standard and I fully expect 3pts going for a 3-0 City win.

Come on City
