Eddie
Cancelo
Dias
Stones
Mendy
Kdb
Rhodri
Foden
Mahrez
Jesus
Sterling

Please Don't put Mendy anywhere near any starting 11 hes not f in good enough he can play FA Cup & thats it imo :)

 

[LucahArchie10]

With Mahrez not playing, Berny going off & Peps love child rested Rodri should come back but its Phil or Gabby but Pep will go for the CF

Think Sergio will be back on the bench?

Ederson
Dias Stones
Walker Cancelo
Rodri
Kev Bernardo
Mahrez Sterling
Jesus

 

[Ban-jani]

Is there a chance this goes ahead but we play their reserves or something ??

 

[deano ou812]

Is there still a doubt over this match,thought villa had their players isolated long enough just like our situation after the Everton game ...

 

[MAG]

Remember 2013/14 season ... it was the same sequence ... win against Palace and Villa and City will be top of the table ;)

 

[Bluemoonadam]

When will we know for certain that it will be going ahead?

 

[dickie davies]

I’m assuming Foden and Mahrez and Rodri and Cancelo will come back in to start this one.

Don't be so sure on Mahrez
Bernardo was taken off early tonight so I expect him to start next to Rodri vs Villa and control Grealish
I actually think Gundogan may sit this one out

..................Ederson
Cancello...Stones..Dias...Zinchenko
.............Bernardo...Rodri
Sterling..........KDB........Foden
...................Jesus

Yes, maybe. I also keep forgetting that the game after this one is Cheltenham, not a PL opponent.

6 pm kick off

 

[Blue Theatre]

3 points, another Dias-Stones clean sheet, and Aguero to play & score ... would be the dream.

Hard to know whether Villa's break will help or hinder them ?

Ederson
Walker Stones Dias Cancelo
Rodri
De Bruyne Gundogan
Sterling Jesus Foden​

*Aguero to get at least 20 minutes
*Walker in the team to stop Grealish
*Initially went for Bernardo over Gundogan because the former was substituted early yesterday but considering that we have an easy get next, maybe Gundogan would be the preferred choice

I wouldn't have Walker anywhere near Grealish,he'll take the clumsy fucker to the cleaners.

I want Grealish to be the MOTM despite us getting the result.

Will this game even go ahead? I haven't seen the latest on Villa with covid besides their games being postponed lately.

Well they changed the ko time from 8.15pm to 6pm, that would indicate it will go ahead but I’m not 100% certain.

 

[SWP's back]

Villa have said it will go ahead

Awesome cheers.

Mahrez is not working any more in our team. I would rather keep Bernardo and Sterling and bring Foden on for Jesus and play a False 9

I trust Fernandinho more but he cant play every 3 days.

I disagree. Even prime Eden Hazard always struggled to get anything from Walker. I know he has the tendency of doing brain farts from time to time but when he’s on it, he gives the best of premier league attackers a torrid time.

Out of interest are you suggesting that Grealish couldn’t also take Cancelo to the cleaners?

 

[Horlocksleftpeg]

Ederson
Cancelo Stones Dias Zinchenko
Rodri
KDB Gundogan
Bernardo Foden Sterling

I’ve been fairly unimpressed with Jesus the last few games he’s played (despite working hard) and genuinely think foden can play that role for us. The kid can certainly finish and has a knack for being in the right place.

Bernardo to help track back and keep grealish quiet.

3-1 city
