Bad news that Arsenal's game is called off on Tuesday, a nice rest for them before they play us

Or they could lose a bit of momentum…

As @AliBobbyJ said- I thought they played well in the second half. They certainly have some quality there.

Ederson

Walker
Dias(Stones if fit)
Ake
Cancelo

Rodri(If fit/Covid)
Foden
De Bruyne

Mahrez
Jesus
Grealish

 

[BringBackSwales]

Hopefully:

Ederson
Walker
Dias
Laporte
Cancelo
Gundogan
Bernardo Silva
Jesus
Foden
De Bruyne
Grealish

Can’t see Raheem not starting in current form, and deffo can’t see him being replaced by one of the naughty step kids, likewise Mahrez

Mahrez will play every game until he leaves for the African tournament.

Another win. Another 3 points

We're in that City groove.

Good shout btw on the City 4-0 at HT prediction bravo.

KDB being subbed early with no injury means he starts
If Walker and Rodri are fit, they will start
I suspect Rodri was given the day off because he was on four yellows. Dias was also on four but his natural replacement, Stones, was injured

So with Rodri fit and Walker and Stones out, I'll go with

....................Eddie
Cancelo...Dias..Laporte..Zinchenko
...KDB.........Rodri .... Grealish
Sterling...... Jesus ......Foden

If Rodri isn't fit, Gundogan to start CDM

I've read on here somewhere Rodri as covid-19 CTID

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Counter attacks and set pieces, including long throws are their main weapons.

That’s what I meant, I can’t see Foden and Grealish replacing Sterling and Mahrez

 

[SerbianBlue]

If we manage to win these two games against Brentford and Arsenal without Roders and with Arsenal having their game postoponed, I can't see how anybody plans to stop us.

The PL and PIGMOL do not like this post

Full strength for this one. Comfortable win. Get the Arse game cancelled on New Year’s Day and play mostly U23’s in the FA Cup. This has the added bonus that Jack and Phil can have a NYE night on the lash whilst touring the best of town’s brass houses.
Well, if the rags can do it …

 

[ctwrd]

I can’t see us not slipping up once in next two games, hopefully not this one.

But amongst our weapons are fear, surprise, .......

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Lets make it ten league wins on the bounce and play our strongest team , Walker , Rodri , Foden to return if available , Brentford will be high energy and long throws and their crowd will be up for a game against the Champions , so if we play our normal controlling game for the first 20 minutes and quieten the crowd , confident we will bag another three points.

Haha cheers, file it away under "things Nick should have stuck a tenner on" unfortunately I very rarely bet, so that box is quite full!

 

[kaz7]

If Stones or Ake are available, it might be wise to leave Ruben out. He's one yellow card away from a two match ban. That threshold goes up from five cards to ten on new year's eve.

The cut off was yesterday

Does anyone know when Rodri started his isolation? Hoping he'll be back for arsenal as you only need to isolate for 7 days now
