I know it's just over a week away but I'm actually looking forward to this one. Let's get those points and hope Bournemouth can get something at Chelsea. Also hope Liverpool drop points to give us some breathing room for NYE.

Bravo
Sagna Otamendi Kolarov Clichy
Fernando Touré
Sterling De Bruyne Silva
Sané

Feels harsh to drop anyone from last night. Only change is Sagna from the beginning. I know Fernandinho will be back but what kind of message does it send out to drop Fernando or Touré after their last two performances? Also looks like Zabaleta won't be fit.

Bench: Caballero, Stones, Maffeo, Fernandinho, García, Navas, Iheanacho

4-1 to City (Sterling, De Bruyne, Touré, Iheanacho)
 
Although the players have a week to recover, Pep will rotate from yesterday
So I'll predict

Bravo
Sagna Otto Stones Kolorov
Fernando - Toure
Navas Silva Nolito
Ineanacho

However if all our squad is fit, I'd like to see us start the same eleven as yesterday
 
Hull at the bottom? It's the banana skin of banana skins! Anyone remember three home games some seasons ago - Baggies, Norwich and Blackburn I think. They were all rockbottom when we played 'em - nine points. Can't remember whether we got three or one! Well, that's the Jeremiah post finished.

Come on City! Start the Christmas matches with three points. Ferny back. All systems go! Just gonna check who the Whistling Wanker is!

I personally don't think we should change a winning formula and I think that would be my team, we just need to keep putting 3 points on the board. However, I can see him resting Yaya for Dinho instead of Fernando and he might play Stones.
 
I would assume that he would want the strongest team for the Liverpool game so I would guess he will rotate for the hull game

Bravo

Sagna Otamendi Stones Clichy

Fernando

Yaya De Bruyne

Navas Ihenacho Sane
 
Hull game possibly more important than Liverpool. Can't afford to lose. Full team please.
 
Pep has noticed the press making a point on the number of changes to the team so I dont expect much change. Yaya to be more involved maybe captain. I think he coould become critical to us his stats and performance in yesterdays game was tip top.

I can guarantee you he doesn't give a single second of thought towards the press criticising the numbers of changes.

He won't care at all. He won everything at Barcelona and nearly everything at Bayern changing his teams constantly, why change because some neanderthal journalists and Danny Mills criticise it?
 
Would like to see our 2nd half team from yesterday. Feeling confident with this one - big win to get things moving again!
 
I thought Yaya did really well against Arsenal, but Fernandinho has to come back in. That would be the only change I'd make.

Bit wary of Hull. They played very well against West Ham and look like they are giving it everything at the moment.

Same back 4 as finished the last game. Give Dinho a run out.
Rest Yaya, KDB and Sane but have them on the bench if needed
Try to get the game sewn up by half time

Not sure how you know that. But he was talking about stability in the team at the last press conf, might have been coincidence but straight after the press have been highlighting it I dont think so.... He's canny I think. Before the press go too far with a story he nips it in the bud. He's a master at playing the press and the public. So he has to be aware of them.

He's famously not a master at playing the press, the German media disliked him greatly, and in Spain he conceded he'd never win in the press conferences.

The press have been highlighting it for at least 2 months, I hardly think you can say he stopped it before the press went too far either, it's been the first comment in every article and conversation about us in every paper and TV show for weeks.

This is about right, we can consider this game the foreplay to Liverpool. Both equally important though.

Who do Liverpool play?

I would also play stones I am not sure over who, a bit harsh to give him an extended absence.
