We have to win .this one. We struggle against teams that get stuck in but villa are a team that try to play football. They don't have a great deal of back bone which means we should be able to have a grip of the game. Benteke is by far their best player so it's a huge bonus that he is out. Hopefully pellegrini doesn't make a load of silly changes for this one.
As I said we HAVE to win this one. Fortunately we are going in to the game on a good run now.

That really is a bonus isn't it. Shame for fantasy football mind with him being out for so long, 1 week would have been enough!
I think the selection will depend to some extent on the fitness levels of Richards, Clichy, Milner, Jovetic, Garcia, Rowell and Dzeko. Ideally I'd keep Aguero, Negredo, Yaya, Fernandhino, Navas, Zabaleta and Nasri fresh for the Bayern game but it depends on how fit the back ups, especially those that played 90 mins yesterday after coming back from injury.
Play the derby winning team and then sub players once we get a healthy lead. A few of our players haven't had much of a pre-season so they need a few of these games to get match fit. As long as none of the players picked up any niggles last Sunday then play them on Saturday, there's a decent break until the Bayern game to rest.

After my suicidal tendencies after the Cardiff game (don't know why), my pre-season confidence
has returned and am sure we are back on track, for the brilliant,exciting season most of us are
expecting. I'm sure Manuel will pick the best side for the job. I don't do correct score predictions
(you should see my shite Sky Super 6), so i'll just go for an emphatic,impressive City win.

Our away form has been pretty poor for the last 10 PL games. Think we have only won about 3 in 10 so a large improvement needed away from home if we are to challenge for the title. Poor so far with a defeat at Cardiff and a uninspiring performance at Stoke so hopefully we can take our confidence into this game and get a win

Normally yes.
But with the Bayern game in mid week after it may mean a few "tweaks" here and there.
