When do we find out who the ref is? Doesn’t the “altrincham fan” like reffing us at home v Chelsea?
Think this could be a tricky game. I only say that because Lampard is a new breed of manager, an ex-player that was labelled as 'the modern footballer'
His tactics etc are not something along the likes of the old guard (the likes of pardew, fat sam, hodgson etc etc). He has been under the guidance of some of the best managers and no doubt has utilised what he was taught etc to help him in his own management career.
Lampard will be the kind of manager that recognises the ability of managers like Pep and klopp and will prepare his team well - unlike others who are stuck in the prehistoric ways of football coaching
We should run out winners being at home and a slightly wounded animal looking to bite back immediately
City win 2-1
(PS - would like to see Jesus start this one)
I actually think the opposite, I think we will absolutely twat them.
Their defence is very amateur, Lampard has carried that over from Derby and Ajax - who arent anywhere near as good as us going forward - should have scored 6 or 7.
Unless Lampard can drastically overhaul the defence over the international break (without most of his players) then we should rip them to shreds.
Still likely to start all the same.------------Ederson
Cancelo--Stones--Fern--Angelino
--------------Rodri
------KDB-----------Foden
-----Mahrez--Jesus--Sterling
Gundog made two big errors in successive games: At Atalanta, he lost possession and it led to Bravo getting sent off, and then he makes a poor clearance at Anfield that leads to the vital goal.

Yep surprised he didn't line Walker up in goal.Well, apart from spelling Gundogan wrong and playing the wide midfielders and forwards on their wrong sides...
