Since when has he picked the team. Yes it may be the case but until that team is announced it's speculation.

He'll be at the ground watching the players get off the bus.

He's one of the journalists who is regularly briefed by City.

If Jack says a player is out, they are out, he's very little reason to make it up or guess.

if foden has covid how many games will he miss

We’ll be 7 days he will miss if he has a negative test on the 6th and 7th day

If Rodri and Foden are unavailable, I'd like to see:

----------------Ederson
Walker---Dias---Laporte---Cancelo
------------------Ferna
------------Silva------Gundo
Mahrez-------KDB----------Sterling

That would be my predicted XI as well.

Although even that team there's questions marks:
Is Walker fully fit?
Is Joao okay to jump straight in?
Can Fern start after starting at Brentford?

More confident on Joao. Less sure of the other 2.

He didn't travel to London with the rest of the squad

Very weak down their left side so would expect a dedicated right winger for us today.

 

[Mancity0303]

Rodri back in the team!

 

[applejuice]

I think we will play more like 4-2-3-1 with Ferna+Bernado or Ferna+Gundo or Bernado+Gundo as 2.

 

[JamesMCFC]

Rodri back in the team!

If Rodri is back I think we'll twat them

We need to win this, after this we play swindon which we can navigate even with 2nd strength and get ready for chelsea next. No settling for a draw. We will have to see who is out but a win today and we are good very good
