4-4-2 or 4-3-3 with foden in midfield?

I would have thought 4231

I think Ederson is carrying a knock. He looked like he was holding his side on Saturday and I think that's why some of his kicking was a bit off.

He held his groin about 5 minutes from the end after kicking it then proceeded to take a long free kick and goal kick for some reason. Hope he’s not aggravated it.

Looking forward to the Alvarez/NMS pairing up front. No Kev threading the eye of the needle, mind.

Genuine 4 4 2 sounds interesting can't wait to see it, that's if pep is going that way

Strangely the one football app has a completely different line up for City.

Pretends to be suprised that Pep is experimenting in a Champions league must win(kind of, at least not lose) game

 

[jimharri]

Certainly an interesting one. Foden as an 8 or are we 4-4-2ing?

God knows. With Pep, anything's possible!

I hope so. I think we might struggle with a 4-4-2. Gundogan and Rodri don't really have the energy to hold CM on their own in a 4-4-2. Foden in CM though could provide that extra energy.

At least it's not boring.

Mahrez must be shit hot in training to keep getting picked!

Bench is a bit lightweight
