I would prefer to bring him off the bench but I reckon Bony will start.

Bony

Willy, Mangala, Demichelis, Clichy, Delph, Barker, Sterling

2-1 City
 
Very nervous about this one, Sevilla away is one of the most dreaded fixtures in Europe, even Barcelona and Real Madrid fears it, and to be honest we've been riding our luck the past two games. Still, a win would obviously be massive as it'd see us through, and after their hooligans attacked our away fans tonight it'd just be extra sweet to make it nigh impossible for them to qualify, so while a draw would technically be fine I want us to take all three points really badly.

Would like to see De Bruyne in the middle for this game, every time we've put him there he's been able to be really influential, it's important he's as involved as possible. Other than that just go with the usual, Navas on the right, Sterling on the left, Yaya as a DM, Komps/Ota, Bony, etc.

The likelihood is that if we keep it tight for 60 mins the chances of a breakaway goal will increase. I'm expecting a similar performance to Roma.

This team all day for me thinking the same score or maybe 1 nil city
 
A 3-0 win reversed by UEFA because of VK farting in the tunnel pre kick off.
 
Hart
Sagna
Kompany
Ota
Kolarov
Nando
Dinho
Sterling
Navas
KDB
Bony

That'd be what I'd like to see with KDB in the centre but obv he won't drop Yaya. It'll probably be that team with Yaya in for a Sterling and Kdb out on the wing.
 
Whilst Pellegrini has talked about winning the game, I think we'll see a similar setup to the one we used at the swamp. Hopefully we create more and do more with the ball but it will at least make us hard to beat and that's all we need to do. As the game gets stretched with Sevilla really needing to try and win, we should be able to pick them off on the counter. Need to keep the ball, and pass it well and take some of the early sting out of the game and quieten their fans down. A Roma style performance is required. Whilst they can still qualify if they draw, I think they'll be playing for the win tonight.
 
Anybody else expecting some bent reffing after the city fans booed the anthem? I'm expecting uefa to have the officials well drilled tonight!
 
Just an opinion but the importance of this particular game is being completely underestimated by many of us, and the media too.

For me this is the biggest game of our season so far. Lose it by a margin bigger than what we beat them at home and we could really struggle to get out of our group. It could very easily leave us in a position where we would need a fairly comprehensive victory in Turin (assuming we beat Gladbach). A defeat tonight could well leave us up shit creek imo.

A draw at the very least tonight would put us in pole position. It'd be great to go to Juventus already qualified, and possibly give us a chance to top the group.

C'mon City!

Hadn't thought of that but would not be surprised at all. If they don't want the public humiliation of fining us over booing then they will just try and make sure we have an early exit.
