If it goes ahead of course.

Leicester had a Covid outbreak for their match today that got postponed on Thursday (16th Dec). The are due to play Liverpool on Wednesday in the EFL Cup (22nd Dec).

Premier League clubs are meeting tomorrow to discuss a plan moving forward. They are discussing postponing Gameweek 20 which is the match after this.

Not on TV in the UK. 15:00 (GMT) kick off.

Not much to say other than lets keep the pressure on. Liverpool kick off before us, so we'll know how they've done.

Injuries
Just Torres according to Pep, not sure anyone picked up knocks v Newcastle.

Suspensions
No suspensions but Dias, Rodri and Bernardo are all on 4 yellow cards, 1 yellow away from suspension, this is the last game before the threshold moves to 10 yellow cards. (Thanks @zandvoort blue).

Very rarely post so early in these threads but breaking the habit this week …I really want us to win this one for the simple reason I want us to complete the double of upsetting the MOTD pundits! Shearer and Lineker…. Shearer, our lads showed you today so stick that in your pipe and smoke it. Lineker, we are coming for you, our lads are the best team in the land in all the world!!
 
Dias, Rodri and Bernardo all on 4 yellow cards and this is the last game until the amnesty. Hopefully Walker will be back.

Ederson

Walker
Stones
Laporte
Cancelo

Rodri
Gundo
KDB

Sterling
Grealish
Foden
 
Depending on how leicester have dealt with their outbreak, the first bunch of infected should be back and eligible for this assuming it's not a bad case. I think we've been very fortunate so far and it's hard to imagine we will go a whole week without our own cases. Could leave us at a disadvantage if it goes ahead.
 
Word is it’s more likely the games on 28th/29th etc will be cancelled, boxing day more likely to go ahead.
Broadcasters putting the big pressure on
We should be splattering Leicester, lost to some poor sides this season, but we have had tight games with them recently.
2-0 City with a bit of a fright

Sky were still plugging all their Christmas fixtures today, do they know something?.
 
................ Ederson ...............
Walker Stones Dias Cancelo
..Bernardo Rodri Gundogan..
Foden ....... KDB ..... Grealish

I like the 3some in the middle. Let's get them back to being the default.

I'd like the 3 upfront to gel too and become the default.
