With respect to Bournemouth we need to use this game to get some match fitness into players like Stones/Phillips etc and give some game time off the bench to the young fullback(s).

This really should be a resounding win but nowt is ever certain in football.

 

[Gigant]

3-5-2 like in old good time , with real CFs danger such in this occasion

 

[asahartford1]

Stones, Phillips, Mahrez, Bernardo will all start.

Perhaps, maybe Alvarez.

 

[Gigant]

Ederson

Mahrez
Walker
Dias
Ake
Cancelo

Rodri
DeBruyne
Bernardo

Alvarez
Haaland

[Len Rum]

Going to be very hot to trot next Saturday.
Should suit us as it did against the Hammers.
Bring your sun block if you're in the East Stand!

I know this would not happen in this game but I'd plat KDB wide so he can whip in low crosses between the GK and CBs for Haaland to get on the end of. And I'd play Alvarez as a busy bee up front because he'd cause havoc (especially with his busy bee twin, Bernardo, behind him).

.............Ederson............
Walker Dias Ake Cancelo
Bernardo Rodri Gundogan
........................................KDB
Alvarez ... Haaland............

Naturally City will hit a goal scoring record and it's not on national tele so it can be spun to fuck by fuckers who didn't see it...
