I'd be surprised if Pellegrini didn't play two up front. Think Fernando will come back in though.

It's difficult to predict the team for this one, with almost everyone fit and no game for a fortnight afterwards. My hunch is that we'll line-up as follows, but I'll probably be wrong:

Hart
Zabaleta
Kompany
Demichelis
Kolarov
Fernando
Toure
Milner
Silva
Dzeko
Aguero
 
Hopefully Mangala has got his mistakes out of the way in one game, he might suit the physical match up with Benteke more tomorrow, hope so anyway come on you blues.... 3-1 for the Champions :)

That's not the City way, unfortunately. You can almost guarantee it won't be straightforward.
 
Villa are better away from home this season, hopefully we won't have a reproduction of last seasons capitulation!!!
No underestimating the opposition Mr Pellegrini, with Benteke back, they have a massive arial presence, Mangala and Vinny to do a Costa job on him.
Hull, without the cock-ups would be nice...!
 
---------------Aguero
----Jovetic ------------Silva
--------------Lampard
---------Fernando Fernandinho
Kolarov Mangala Kompany Zabalita
----------------Hart


Better to give Yaya a rest to reconsider his performances in recent weeks & how to come back with Last year performance again
i think this medfield will be more solid & dynamic with fernando playing DM & ferna , lampard as AM
 
Hart

Sagna
Kolarov
Kompany
Mangala

Milner
Fernando
Fernandinho
Silva

Jovetic
Dzeko

Caballero
Zaba
MDM
Lampard
Aguero
Toure
Navas

Planned subs: Navas for Silva (60), Toure for Fernando (70), Aguero for Jovetic (80).

But, Pellegrini won't have the stones to rest Yaya, because it will look like he's benching him for his bad performances and it will create a mini-storm.
 
bar nasri a fully fit squad so i'm expecting a strong performance going into the international break

i am assuming manuel will stick to 2 up top as usual

important we get the points to rack up some pressure on maureen's chavs tomorrow
