I'd be tempted to go with Mendy because one advantage Utd have is their physicality. They are a big side and it might count at set-pieces. That is after all how we were knocked out of the CL.
 
Depends how fit Vinny is at the moment as I think Pep will play him against Burnley to combat Wood and Barnes. If he isn't fit enough to play both games, I'd play Otamendi on Wednesday.
 
Just get the 3 points City, the thought of Utd stopping us winning the title and Liverpool winning it is just too much to handle.
Utd 1 City 2
We win this game and we'll win the title
 
Tried discussing a preview of the game with some Man U fans in China. Didn't go too well. They didn't even know that they were at home. Typical. Anyway, living out here, it is funny how many winning team shirts appear. Oddly, Ajax now. Never seen one before. Looking forwards to 3am Weetabix and a tough game on the tele-box.

Here's our weird Shenzhen Blue bilingual post.

Nice one - great commitment for a 3am ko
 
I think Foden should at least feature in the game. He's a Blue, his confidence will be high after scoring yesterday and he played really well against United albeit a friendly. Not sure if Pep will start him though?
 
I really don’t believe d silva warrants a start. :-(

Only threat Utd have is the pace of martial & Rashford get our defence right we will be fine.

Foden, mendy, sane should start for me.
We need pace & energy.

Leave sterling & d silva on the bench. Both look shattered and great subs to bring on.

All down to selection this game. Please pep no Jesus or Mahrez but I honestly see him playing one of them if not both.

I can understand no Mahrez, but why no Jesus?

Keep flying the flag Blue.

I was in Shanghai 2006 for the pre season tourney and had an absolute brilliant time especially drinking with the Perth Blues, not too many local Shanghai Blues in them days though.
Good to see we have a good following there now.
 
I’d be tempted to start foden. The energy and goal threat he brings could be vital. He brought something different yesterday. I think David and others look knackered

No qualms about starting Foden,his energy,his enthusiasm,and his unknown quantity would add a exciting dimension that the Rags would struggle to handle.

Agree. It not just a token appearance either. He is a first team player now and will be playing on merit. I think at times this season our midfielders have played too many games and there hasn’t been enougg rotation. David Silva in particular.

Sorry, but Foden will not be able to cope physically against that scummy midfield, they would relentlessly target him, knowing he could lose possession easily with the slightest of nudges. By all means bring him on in the latter stages of the game, if we're winning comfortably, otherwise, just no from me.

He'd play in a more advanced role though like David Silva, making runs into the box. I'd welcome those nudges. ;)
