Hopefully De Bruyne will be back for this one, and Nolito is available again after suspension. Not optimistic of having Kompany back, but you never know.

Barring any further injuries during the international break, I'd go for:

Bravo
Sagna
Stones
Otamendi
Clichy
Fernandinho
Silva
De Bruyne/Gundogan
Nolito
Sterling
Aguero

Everton started the season well, but have only taken one point from the last six, and were beaten at home by Norwich in the cup. They've been a bit of a bogey team in the past, but hopefully we can get back to winning ways.

True. I think I'm just traumatised by that period when Tim Cahill seemed to score a last minute winner against us. Every single time we played. I have reoccurring nightmares about him shadow boxing the corner flag in celebration.

You mean when he used to stand at the far post with a big sign saying 'I'm not here lads!!'? Yep, hated that period.

What was that match a couple years ago, possibly on boxing day, where we had like 30 shots in the last 20 minutes and we still couldn't score... always dread Everton

I thought Argentina and Brazil were both playing in the early hours of Wednesday morning (GMT), meaning they'd be back a day earlier?

I'm sure i read thurs morning but pleased to be wrong then

Edit,found this on the OS @Ric i don't know what time our time that is

Argentine trio Sergio Aguero, Nicolas Otamendi and Pablo Zabaleta are all expected to feature in a CONMEBOL double header against Peru and Paraguay.

New Albiceleste supremo Edgardo Bauza leads his team for the first of the two games in Lima in the early hours of Friday morning before they face Paraguay at home on Wednesday 11 October.

Argentina playing 1:30 am on Wednesday 12th, Brazil playing 2:30 am.
 
Bravo
Sagna
Otamendi
Stones
Clichy
Fernandinho
De Bruyne
Silva
Sterling
Nolito
Aguero/Nacho

Thats pretty much our strongest team, hopefully De Bruyne and Sterling are back, Sagna and Clichy have to start, not sure where Vinny is at yet but he wouldn't start anyway.

We could maybe start Nacho instead of Aguero depending on what time he returns.
 
Pep knows Koeman well. We will massively benefit from a good win here to get us back on track, and remove the Tottenham game somewhat from public memory.

Bravo
Sagna
Otamendi
Stones
Kolarov
Fernandinho
Silva
De Bruyne
Sterling
Nolito
Aguero

Caballero, Zabaleta, Clichy, Fernando, Navas, Sané, Iheanacho

City 3-1 Everton
Aguero
De Bruyne
Barkley
Sterling
 
biggest game of the season so far for me...

need to get back on track ASAP. 3 games without a win and we all know how people will flap and pressure will build.

bravo, sagna, ota, stones, clichy, fern, silva, sane, sterling, nolito, serg

so long as everyone comes back healthy from the pointless football over the next 10 days

hard fought 2-1 win and back on track
 
I think that Nolito is still suspended unless he didn't get a 3 game ban. However I maybe wrong on that 1. If Nolito is still suspended then I would play Leroy Sane we need to give him some game time and that game against Everton would be the ideal game to give him some.
 
Let's just dick the scousers and shut them up. Let's also hope that their fans don't get abused in the neutral section again
