I'd go with

----Ota------VK-----Kolarov
----------Fernando--------
Sterling--Yaya--Delph--Sane
-------------KDB---------------
-------------Kun---------------

Stones in for VK if he's not fit enough, Jesus on the bench.
I think it will be a tight game, despite the general doom and gloom on here - 2-2.

I've come to the conclusion that we're at our best best when attacking aggressively as we were early season so let's go all out on the attack. If we lose it will be a goal fest rather than losing 2-0 with 70% possession and say 3 shots on target and Spurs have 2 shots and 2 goals.

Play smart, take our chances when they come, move the ball quicker, and we will win.

They have aggression in both full-back areas so unless Sterling is in the mood for it, up against an England colleague, I would go with Nolito and Jesus Navas to keep them honest.

It means we still have Sane, Gabby J and Sterling to throw at them as they tire.

I would like to see Gabriel start though, we need to give the crowd and the team something to feed off.

Vertonghen is a huge miss for them but they have a lot of power in the middle with Wanyama, Dembele and Alli.
 
If we play like we all know we can then we win simple really, something has to change are season round and tomorrow could be it, then again...........

Funnily enough, it's almost like we are at our best when the other team attacks aggressively. Whilst we are attacking and the other team is defending, if their defence is any good, we struggle. But we are lethal when they have been attacking and they lose the ball when they are out of shape. So maybe we should not be so gung-ho, just be patient and wait for our chance? Instead of our relentless and increasingly desperate pressure, and then we get caught out again?

I dunno, it's a puzzle.

I would start Sane ahead of Navas as he's been good on the right and he defends well. What's happened to Nolito? He's barely featured of late but was one of our better players early season.
 
I hate matches on BT as for some reason our results are particularly bad when we're on BT.

One other bad omen a certain degenerate crackhead has tipped us this weekend. Judging by his form I don't think that's good news.

Why would we start Navas who rarely creates goals and hasn't scored in league for 3 years. These types of games are why we paid big money for Sterling and Sane. Both were excellent against Arsenal and I'm sure could be tomorrow.

Let's not pick a team to contain them, let's pick a team to beat them.
 
I don't care who we start with tomorrow (apart from we MUST have Vinnie there for the leadership) BUT we have to have a team who go out there and fight for the club, who want to win with every fibre of their being, who want to show the fans and the flaming world that they are the very, very, very best. Give us the ambition, give us the fight, give us the get up and go and we will be behind you every inch of the way lads. We will be the twelfth man and poor old Sagna can put it on twitter without being fined 12 v 11 with the fans giving their all as well.

We're Man City we fight to the end the Boys in Blue never give in. :-) JMHO
 
Need load of changes after last week, I'd bench a few

Bravo
Sagna
Otamendi
Kompany
Kolarov

Sterling
Delph
Yaya
Silva

Jesus
Aguero

I've had enough of Navas. Working hard ain't enough at this level. He was wank against Burnley.

I'm not sure G Jesus will start after months without a game. Can see him being on the bench.
