So, when do we think Burnley will score today? I'll go for somewhere between minutes 17 & 33.

The away team normally gets one late on for a point. I'll go early - could be the seventh match this season the first strike matches a concession - under ten. If we can withstand an East Lancs battering for ten minutes we should be OK! (Assuming the fuckers turn up and play!)
 
could see against liverpool bravo was under instruction to clear the ball long in order to not put ourselves at risk at the back. other than a few crappy balls long i thought he played really well.
we struggled at burnley so strong team this time with a little rotation.

..............bravo
sagna stones otamendi kolarov
..............Garcia
sterling de bruyne silva (sane/nolito)
..............aguero

the defensive midfielder position is one which does the most work so it's the one i'd rotate. toure is old and fernandinho looked a little off the passing last game, maybe because tiredness was kicking in.
I'd put in Garcia instead of fernando simply because of the opposition. Any formation that allows silva and de bruyne to play centrally should be able to beat burnley. Garcia has a lot of patience recycling the ball and that's something we will probably be doing a lot today against burnley parking on their 18 yard line.

Heavy fixture list, lesser opposition at home, perfect time for just 1 kid pep. come on m8
