.....................Bravo

Sagna Otamendi Stones Clichy

...................Fernando..................

Sterling..Gundagon...Silva.....De Bruyne

......................kelechi........................

That team should have enough, however I have a really bad feeling about this one. We just look so open and vulnerable. We need a prem proven CB in January or we may as well give up on this season.

I'd probably go with something like this:

Bravo
Maffeo Sagna Stones Kolarov
Fernando
Sterling Gundogan Silva KDB
Iheanacho

Sane could be switched in there for more pace and Nolito comes in for more firepower, as required. I'd be wary about having two younger players in defense for this and Maffeo is currently the more stable of the two, so he's in.

As for predictions, it's tough to call. Leicester really aren't playing well domestically at all and will field a full squad against Porto tonight. Assuming Kelechi isn't marked into the ground, and we don't get a rebound performance from the Ref, City should win this one.

I think that even though Fern has been one of our most consistent performers it may actually benefit us for him to be out.

We'll still no doubt fall for the ball over the top, and our FB's will be left on their arses by Vardy having his best game of the season.

I'd like to see Sterling, Silva, KDB and Nolito start in Midfield then swapping either KDB for Yaya or Nolito for Navas around the 60 minute mark depending on the score.

Still fancy us for the win though. The 1730 KO means that our game will be on during 6-0-6, I've had a look at the schedule, and it looks like that massive bell-end Savage isn't on. This means he'll probably be on BT Sport, spouting his usual stream of anti City bile.

clichy, as proved last night is shit..me personally i will play kola over clichy 11 times out of 10...clichy offers nothing to the team at least kola offers dangerous crosses ( sometimes )

clichy and kolarov are great argument for three at the back , both of them can't defend , back three of Sagna , Stones , Otto with Zabs and Sane as wing backs then yaya back in midfield for Dinho and tell him to run about a bit
 
Leicester 3-0 down at h/t at Porto. I don't recognise most of their players so looks like they are playing a weakened team.

My team would be

-------------Bravo
---Sagna--Stones--Kolarov
Sane-De Bruyne-Fernando-Silva-Nolito
-------Kelechi--Sterling

I'd be amazed if we keep a clean sheet
 
I'd take a 0-1 all day long .. not that im confident we can keep a clean sheet.. Saying that someone is due a good beating with all the chances we create one day we are going to put them all away so fingers crossed we start against Leicester, I dont think Aguero being out will do us that much harm it didnt last time iirc, especially as nacho is looking hungry.
 
Nobody seems to mention Kelechi has scored 19 goals and made 7 assists in 1437 minutes of football for the first team.

That means Kelechi is involved in a City goal every 55 minutes and scores on average every 75 minutes he plays. The guys stats are outstanding for someone his age. Imagine if he was English......
 
Hope I'm wrong but have a foreboding about this game on Saturday,don't know why just see us again missing gilt edged chances and being sucker punched,even though Leicester have been shit..
