Mendy----Laporte---Dias-----Cancelo
----------------Ederson----------------
Just think we need more width and threat from crosses so Cancelo over Walker. I can only dream of a Foden start.
Clinicality is key, some of the chances missed today were so easy and had to be converted. These lot are only good at one thing which is ball over the top counter attack. If we can stop those, we will win the game.
Prediction: 2-0 Win (Jesus and KDB to score)

A good old fashioned bumming will do nicely.
About the match? Erm, the same....

Knowing Pep, no way Foden will play, Gundog will and Walker will be RB. I would have Cancelo at LBSterling----------Jesus----------Mahrez

I don't mind losing, but not to UTd, their comebacks recently have been due to opposition errors and dodgy decisions...they dont do much apart from the oily maggot Penades who has 3 goes at a penalty...
Kick and rush that's it..the way we have lost against this lot is laughable...
Pep has to take this more seriously..could really do with Aguero because they cant really handle him but Foden Kev, Sterling, Gabby should be enough..

Our record against United was awful last season, with three defeats and only one win. Their style of counter attacking football is one we struggle with, but surely Guardiola must have learnt his lesson. He really shouldn’t be getting outwitted by someone like Solsjkaer.
I do fear that he’ll stubbornly stick to his guns though, and we’ll see another game where we dominate possession but don’t take our chances, and get punished on the counter.
I’m sure we’ll stick with 4-3-3, but part of me hopes we’ll try something different. Try and invite them onto us for a change, and hit them on the counter.
Maybe a 3-4-1-2 with De Bruyne higher up the pitch where he can cause more damage? Something like this:
Ederson
Stones
Dias
Laporte
Walker
Gundogan
Rodri
Cancelo/Mendy
De Bruyne
Sterling/Mahrez
Jesus
I’m probably over thinking this, aren’t I?

No doubt we're a better team, and we'll have almost all the possession and almost all the chances ... but judging from City & United games so far this season, it doesn't mean we'll necessarily win.

Most interesting Manchester derby for a while this, given that I suspect both of our seasons turn on this game. I still think we are better than them when we need to be, but they're looking better than they have since Baconface left and we...well truth be told I don't know where we are at so we will see.
