Hazard plays on the left doesn't he. Our right.

I also think we stronger defensively with Delph at left back than Mendy.

Id agree with that other than Danilo in for gund, he's not ready for such a game and dan will provide better cover for delph..

I'd expect a curve ball on this one from Pep though...

Feels like everything is conspiring against us. I fear Chelsea will be too strong.

Does he, my brain is mangled,be pedro then?

3 1 TO US
NO PROBLEM,.

Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard could make his first league start of the season, while Pedro is likely to play after being rested in midweek.

David Luiz must complete a three-match domestic ban and Danny Drinkwater remains out because of a calf injury.

I know we aren't one to talk with some of our duds over the years but what a bizarre signing this was. Loftus-Cheek in the first half last weekend played better than I've ever seen Drinkwater play.

You wouldn't play De Bruyne? You'll have to explain that one!

If chelsea plays 352 like against athletico,there are no wingers.hazard more or less has a free role to link up with morata

Is David injured then?

Only ever seen him in a 343 and Pedro is back. I believe he missed the CL match.

No way does Pep play a double pivot in midfield. It will be Fernandinho with De Bruyne and/ or Gundogan in front of him.

I have a feeling the front three will be Bernardo, Jesus and Sterling.

He will want an extra midfielder who can play out in wide spaces.

In the big games this season,Conte seems to prefer 3 in midfield to protect the midfield, like against spurs,athletico and second half against arsenal.Pedro was fit for the CL, he was just on the becnh.

But they’ve replaced them with christansen, bakayoko and morata. You could argue they’ve upgraded.

Morata looks a player , maybe you would lose the argument on the other two.

Bakayoko is much much better than Matic

All this negativity is ridiculous.

I had picked City to win 5-0 based on our form (based on Burnley dispatching them 3-0). Yes Aguero, Mendy and Kompany are a big setback for City.

The game is going to be close now but we still play 11 against 11 and our 11 still way better. City win 3-1.[/

More ridiculous than your 5-0 prediction?

He would be crazy to not play Sane. The lad is on fire at the moment.
