If Gonzales is fit, maybe we could use Rodri as a central defender. Just thinking aloud.

So we will be relying on an injury prone Ake and an untested Khusanov for the next few months? We will soon be dropping down the league table.

More likely that he will collect two yellow cards and get banned for City.

Chelsea have the youngest squad in the division.

I trust that Pep has been showing our defence how to deal with long throws as Sunderland have one of the most prolific throwers around. Also, that slippery Adringa (ex-Brighton) may cause us trouble on their left wing. Just some words of caution.

Hopefully he will still be playing for Bournemouth when they host Arsenal on 3rd January as we need him to score a few goals against them.

Sadly two Villa players reached 5 bookings today so will be suspended for their visit to Arsenal.

Is that a serious question?

Silly Yue. Marmoush is away at AFCON. I do agree that losing is affordable as we may otherwise have to face Arsenal & Chelsea in very busy months, one of them home & away.

Stones? Are you really a MCFC follower?

The starting eleven really hinges on whether two players are fit enough to play...Doku and Phillips.

Excuse me but Wembley in May 2025 doesn't count?

Personally I disagree. They will be avoiding tackles to preserve themselves for Morocco. However I do think Khusanov should start and let Nunes have a 30 mins sub appearance. Ake also for Gvardiol, who can strengthen our defence for the last 20-30 mins when we usually tire.

Thank God you are not in charge.

Perhaps one of our boys can give his hand a really firm shake at the pre-match intro ceremony.

Why not give Kalvin Phillips a 30 minutes run when our midfielders are getting tired? Surely he is better than many others in the league.

No they are not shit, especially in their own back yard. If you watched them beat Tottenham away, you will know they have several speedsters who will make our defenders look like snails. Hopefully Khusanov starts.

Presumably you mean Ait Nouri at LW. We definitely need the pace of Khusanov as Fulham have speed in their transitions.

It's a long season and we need to rotate our defence as they have been poor. Stones, Ake and Khusanov should start.

Without any doubt, we have the strongest 20 players in the league.
