We come into this one of the back of 9 straight league wins, this would take us to 10. I would expect more rotation for this one as we face Arsenal on New Years Day.

Unsure on any Brentford news but you'll get an idea of how they're shaping up when they face Brighton tonight.

Injury/Absentee News
Torres - Still out
Walker - Still absent
Rodri - ???

No risk of suspensions as the yellow card threshold has now reset.

Team selection in this game is important as Arsenal now have a break before New Years Day:

Would expect some rotation in front 3, if Rodri still out not sure ferna can okay two 90 mins in three days, so interesting to see what happens there
 
Foden, Grealish definitely will come in for this. Won't be able to rotate at the back unluckily.
 
Weird time of year. They’ll make it their cup final. Fearing a fuck up here unfortunately.

Hopefully proved wrong.

Need Rodri back.

Mind you, that is from the Sun, who have been known to get things wrong from time to time.

I think The Sun are wrong:
www.premierleague.com

Who is suspended or close to a ban in 2021/22?

The Scout highlights the Fantasy picks at risk of missing matches in the coming Gameweeks
www.premierleague.com www.premierleague.com

'The suspension threshold increases from five to 10 yellow cards after teams have played 19 matches.

However just four teams will play their 19th fixture in Gameweek 19.

Postponements mean that Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, Leeds, Liverpool, Norwich, Southampton, West Ham and Wolverhampton Wanderers complete their 19th fixture in Gameweek 20.

For Brentford, Brighton, Everton, Leicester and Man Utd they will play their 19th match in Gameweek 21, then it's Gameweek 22 for Spurs and Watford, and Gameweek 23 for Burnley.'
 
Rodri listed as having COVID on Fotmob and the PL injury table.. Stones listed as injured on the latter as well.

Of course, owing to the concerning Covid-19 situation in the Premier League at present, concerns quickly spread for the Sky Blues pair, amid the assumption that both had likely returned positive Covid tests over the last couple of days.

Such fears, however, have since been quelled.

As confirmed in a post on Manchester City’s official website, neither Walker nor Rodri are ‘fully fit’, with risks, in turn, having not been taken on either player to feature against Leicester.

Posting this here as I think it's relevant to team selection on Wednesday.

Pep will rotate the team without a doubt over the next couple of games. Not saying Brentford will be easy, but Arsenal is the more difficult game of the two. In terms of Wednesday, hopefully Stones will be fit as Reuben could do with a rest
