Burnley (H) - Wed 31st Jan, 19:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[JRockBlues]

Ederson injured?

Was still wearing some strapping on his leg for that incident where he went off in the last game vs. Newcastle. Here's the resulting wound:

 

[Gabriel]

Want to see Grealish and Nunes back playing, even if only off the bench. We need everyone fit and ready for February.

 

[Leeky]

Unsure for now, not sure how injured he was.

Pep says he’s fit

 

[Gabriel]

Four of the next five league games are at home, and this will be the first one this calendar year, so time to lay down a marker. Ruthless. Sorry Vincent.

I'm still astounded that our physios(who are undoubtedly highly qualified) saw that and said, "He's fine to give it another go!". It looks like a bullet hole.

 

[TrentGrisham]

I'd love to see Lewis get a start here. I'd also consider not playing Rodri simply due to his accumulation of yellows. With all due respect to Burnley(mostly Vinny), we have enough quality to beat them at home without him.

-------------Ederson-------------
Lewis---Dias---Ake---Gvardiol
---------Nunes----Bernardo----
Bobb--------Foden----Grealish
-------------Haaland-------------

Sorry Vinny but we need to smash you lot..

 

[Eccles Blue]

I'm looking forward to this game, partly because I will be there, *fingers crossed*, and partly because Vinnie's coming home for a visit. Although obviously I will only want to welcome him back with a cheer or two, plus I will restrain from telling him to get back in his technical area. Sorry Vinnie much as I love you (in a footballing way) we need the points as much, or even more, than you do. :-)

John Stones get back on that pitch, I need a MOTM without having to consider 12 to 14 options!! Plus I want to see you live so to speak (I was going to put something else there but not with you BlueMooners around ;-) )
Come on City, show 'em, show 'em all not just Burnley but also that media lot that only see red shirts. :-)

anyone received their tickets yet? I can download Brentford, but not Burnley.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Can't see Kev starting still, another 30 mins here I feel. Ederson, Walker, Dias, Ake, Gvardiol, Rodri, Bernardo, Kovacic, Grealish, Foden, Alvarez

Alvarez needs another chance to bag a goal, he desperately needs one

Desperately? He has scored 5 goals in his last 6 games, that’s a special goal drought
