Burnley v City - pre-match

That is a valid point. Also I thought the idea of Friday night football was to give some extra time for Euro sides to prepare.
It's just for extra revenue tbh. However if we're playing Bayern/Dortmund/PSG in the knockout stages we should be making noises about Friday kickoffs prior to the games as the French and German teams will almost certainly get them.

We definitely won't be playing Bayern in the next round, thank goodness.
 
Burnley are no pushover.

Their forwards will be chasing down Bravo at every given opportunity, hoping he'll gift a chance; I won't be surprised if he makes another howler. As long as at the end of the season he saves us more points than he costs us I'll be happy.

I can see Pep going 3-5-1-1, but you never know. As long as we play the fast paced, decisive football we are capable of then we should be home and dry by HT. We will just need to make good use of the bench, as 3 games in 7 days is a lot to ask.


To be fair he arguably hasn't cost us any points at all so far this season.

Rather play them than Atletico over two legs, Bayern look sloppy this season. But regardless if we hit our (likely) target and make a semi-final we'll probably play French or German opposition along the way.
 
Think Sane and/or Nolito might as well get some time because they'll at least be fresh.

BTW it would be the most typical EPL thing if Burnley roll over to WBA on Monday and then play like Barcelona against us.
 
Like to see us go with 2 upfront occasionally this should be the perfect game for it. 352 -

Bravo
Nico
Stones
Kolarov
Fernandinho
Gundo
Kdb
Sterling
Nolito
Aguero
Nacho
 
PEP: Kompany will be four to six weeks out. Yaya can play in many positions but we have other options to play there at centre-back. #mcfc#

PEP: Sergio is not injured but he has a problem in his foot. Today he has traIning at 4pm and we will see his condition. Zabaleta as well.

PEP: I am so happy about all my players. The full-backs normally play out and now they try to play inside. That is difficult. I’m satisfied.

PEP: We can't forget (Burnley) beat Liverpool, lost in 93rd min against Arsenal and drew at Old Trafford. What they do, they do really well.
