Brentford (A) - Wed 29th Dec, 20:15 | Pre-Match Thread

[CatMan]

Brighton are about the equivalent of our U23 side (in the way they like to play but are not quite streetwise yet) and they have strolled this so far. Brentford look exactly what they are, a direct, technically limited physical side playing percentage football. If we control the ball and have 70%+ possession then we win by 3.

Counter attacks and set pieces, including long throws are their main weapons.

Arsenal just got more difficult. They are playing very well too.

You’ve forgot something Marv we’re shithot away from home this season,arteta will try and play against us,it will fall straight into our hands,3-1 to city

Taking nothing for granted but we should be comfortable winners here. Could do with wrapping it up early and conserving energy for what will be a difficult game Saturday

 

[MCFC1993]

If they play like they did tonight we shouldn't have many/any problems.

Took the words straight out of my mouth. Comfortable city win Wednesday night. CTID

they played well in the second half. They pose a threat in the air and the crowd will be up for it but even if they grab a lead the quality of players that can come off City's bench should be too much for them.

KDB being subbed early with no injury means he starts
If Walker and Rodri are fit, they will start
I suspect Rodri was given the day off because he was on four yellows. Dias was also on four but his natural replacement, Stones, was injured

So with Rodri fit and Walker and Stones out, I'll go with

....................Eddie
Cancelo...Dias..Laporte..Zinchenko
...KDB.........Rodri .... Grealish
Sterling...... Jesus ......Foden

If Rodri isn't fit, Gundogan to start CDM

 

[richards30]

Hopefully:

Ederson
Walker
Dias
Laporte
Cancelo
Gundogan
Bernardo Silva
Jesus
Foden
De Bruyne
Grealish

Do we have to do Covid tests and/or show a Covid pass to get in?
