Kick off time 15:00 GMT.

A chance to go top for at least a few hours, potentially over Xmas with Arsenal's tricky game at Everton.

Probably back to the XI that beat Palace.

------------Donnarumma
Nunes--Dias--Gvardiol--O'Reilly
-----------------Nico
-----Reijnders---Bernardo
------Cherki--------Foden
-------------Haaland

Think Doku and Rodri will still be out injured. Got a week until Forest (A) after this.

I think he could bring Savinho in for Reijnders.
 
Referee: Paul Tierney. Assistants: Richard West, Marc Perry. Fourth official: Lewis Smith. VAR: Alex Chilowicz. Assistant VAR: Dan Robathan.

Tierneys 1st PL game as ref this season for some reason. Reffed 2 League 2 games then 2 League 1 and then 4 Championship matches
 
should be a straightforward one. we're beaten up with injuries and tiredness but the team is brimming with confidence so they have to weather the storm and hold down the fort until january, then hopefully players will be back + added.
 
Just take the 3 points.

We got a decent run of 4/5 fixtures after this one and that will be make or break for us.
Would rather we rested Bowen and a few others, but we won’t.

City 3-0 W.Ham

West Ham only have two decent players and there league position shows it.

And Wan Bissaka, who I assume is one of those 3, is at the ACON.

We should win but I would be wary of this game because relegation is now staring them in the face and that can change teams. See Wolves at Arsenal.
 
All the youth players who have broke into the first was given a surprising start in a league game I feel like I would test the water and play Mukasa from the off. Really impressed with him and we’re two forwards down with Marmoush and Doku being out.

Donnarumma; Nunes Dias Gvardiol O’Reilly; Bernardo Nico G; Cherki Foden Mukasa; Haaland.

Would quite like to see that too, but zero chance Mukasa starts over Savinho. Would be a slap in the face for Sav that Pep won't do after spending his time trying to build him up, and just as his form looks to be turning a bit.
 
I'd bring in Ake for O'Reilly at left back. It gives Ake some more minutes and O'Reilly a rest after playing most of last night.

I think Savinho will also get the nod ahead of Reijnders. The rest of the team is the normal first XI
 
Their first-choice FBs, Wan-Bissaka and Diouf, won't be available due to AFCON.
