Anyone know what’s going on there?

I’m guessing compassionate leave with Maradona’s grandson for Sergio.
Laporte to freshen up for Porto also allowing rewarding Stones for his performance in Greece. (someone reply with post of Travolta dancing)

Cheer up lads.
Come on City

Tbf, that line-up is getting a similar reaction on Twitter too.

Ah well if Twitter, the bastion of reason and level headed reactions, disagrees with the selection then Pep must have really done something wrong...

About the same odds for both.

Fucking hell it may be happening

I support City and players who give 100% for team, not some washed up mercenary who's just here for the paycheck. I want our players to do well and show their full potential... is that bad of me?

Who's the washed up mercenary?

Zinchenko rested? He's hardly played! Not that I'm complaining. Surprised Laporte is rested again after not playing midweek. Aguero is understandable I guess.

Quite disappointed to see the starting line-up though. It's not that they aren't all very good players in their own right but they just don't seem to gel as a unit. Hopefully still good enough to beat Burnley though.

Hahaha. These are the times I am ridiculously happy to be proven wrong .

20 game unbeaten run coming up. C'mon City let's rinse the scouse/rag and cockney bastards.

For the sake of his career I hope Foden leaves and goes to a team that will actually play him. Too good of a talent to be wasted on the bench in favour of a greedy, selfish and useless Mahrez. Pep's head has fallen off.

He's 20, his career is going well, knee jerk reactions are aplenty on here pre match.

"Rested" in Zinchenko's case is just a polite way of saying benched.
