Stones ahead of Laporte again. Really back in favour now. Surprised that Gundogan is not starting. Need a big showing from Raz and the boys up front.

 

[117 M34]

I wonder why he has gone with Ferna instead of gundo?
I'm not complaining. But surprised though.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Fernandinho playing was the key one, would rather it was him and Gundogan but I’ll takr that. Sterling has done nothing to deserve that start and he’s yet to beat wan-bissaka in a 1v1 in his career would have played Foden there’s instead but not much to complain about. Happy he’s not fucked around and gone for some crazy idea as he usually does in big games or at least on paper he hasn’t. Twat these!

 

[FantasyIreland]

Id sooner Bernardo and Foden ahead of Sterling and Mahrez,but Mahrez deserves his place on form i guess.Gundogan dropped for Dinho surprises me,in a good way i think.

 

[super_city_si]

I think we’ll struggle to score With that lineup. Should be good defensively.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Happy enough with that.

Cancelo a bit of a worry defensively on that side for me but makes sense against Wan Bissaka.

Assuming Gundo isn't 100% after Wednesday, otherwise he'd surely be in.

An unfit Aguero doesn't get on the bench over Bernardo, Foden or Torres unfortunately. Ake only just back too.

 

[PhdWave]

If Fernandinho puts in all his energy and runs like a madman we win this easy imo...Pogba starting which means space will be there for us to attack

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

They have gone quite attacking. We should be able to find the gaps needed in that midfield and defence. I like our line up.

 

[Cornish_Blue]

Mahrez will be strolling around doing the usual, step over cut in, smack it into the defender tactic again today. He’s had a couple of decent games, it will be back to him stealing a position and a wage.
I really hope he proves me wrong today and plays the pass early.

 

[come-on-barney]

FFS FFS and no Sergio in the squad. Surprised that he’s gone with Stones again over Laporte

Stones deserves it, he’s been superb.

 

[Eccles Blue]

The Boys in Blue never give in, they fight to the end. Come on City. Come on City.


Stay safe, take care everyone.

 

[bert38]

very right footed team, but good enough to beat that lot.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Mahrez can stink the place out but 1 good game (vs Burnley) is enough for him to lock down a spot.

He was amazing against Fulham as well.

 

[kaz7]

Would have limed bernie and torres , think we dont have enough pressing at the front

Lets see

COME ON BLUEBOYS

 

[MeatHunterrr]

He was amazing against Fulham as well.

Amazing! Thats bit stretching it don't you think. Just because he did his job and was threatening doesnt mean he was amazing.

 

[mosssideblue]

John had better concentrate

Not just John but all of them

 

[Brendan110_0]

United are playing with not very much width, so our team should be more than capable of dispatching them.

Why play with width knowing we're going to make every run inside to congestion?

 

[argyle]

No Ake on the bench?

Yeah, something tells me you don't.

 

[The1nvisibleMan]

Very good team and obviously walker is going to be effective vs the pace of United’s attack but this is why we need another left back. Mendy cannot be relied upon and we need width from them
