Back 4 - but a back 4 with Pavard as right back - so one of the fullbacks mainly is defensive. Cancelo might start instead of Davies on the left.

4-2-3-1 probabably with Müller, Sane and Coman - and then Musiala or Gnabry. Midfield with Kimmich and Goretzka. But it will not be a 2 man midfield as Müller and Sane or Musiala/Gnabry will add to that partly in the match. It is pretty flexible like this as all can defend and all can attack. Our defensives all have some goals and assists this season.

Tuchel is not fixed on one system. But Bayern usually plays with 3 centerbacks in a back 4 - often asymetric. And in such a match Goretzka and Kimmich probably will not join the attack.

I mainly expect a team that is able to counterattack - with Sane and Coman there is two that are very fast.

Sané, defend? Thought Germans had no sense of humour.

No fucking about Pep. Come on City.

I'm not sure about that

What a coincidence that the bluemoon flappers are panicking about a bit of wind...

I choose to see the glass half empty of flapping.

Stupid thing to try on a football pitch really.

Seen another forecast that says we're getting 21mph.

You didn’t scroll down far enough. 21mph winds with gusts of 43.

Shame about the banners not going ahead tonight. Perfect occasion for them!

So 21mph winds then. Gusts aren't wind speed.
