3-1 City
 
I just hope we play better in the oppositions half than we did at Middlesborough. Being in the family stand behind the goal it was like watching tennis, the amount of times that it would go to the wing to pull them out of position and then one pass inside and a raking pass to the other wing, rinse, repeat and so on. At times it needed a little third man run down the line by Zabaletta, this is is the point where we missed Sterling, who looks so much threatening on the right to the left.
Burnley are likely to play 10 men at the back and to crowd the penalty area. I would like to see us play 2 up top to take the burden of Sergio, but whether Pep will do this i'm not so sure.
 
I'd like to see something like:

Bravo, Sagna, Stones, Otamendi, Clichy, Fernandinho, Yaya, KdB, Sane, Nolito, Kelechi.

Only Bravo, Stones, Otamendi and KdB will have played 90 mins against Borussia.

Means we could have Silva, Gundogan, Aguero, Sterling, Fernando and Kolarov in reserve depending on whether we need to chase the game or shut it down.
 
I'd take a 2-1 right now.

----------------Bravo----------------
Sagna Otamendi Stones Kolarov
-----------Fernandinho------------
---------Gundogan Touré---------
-----Sterling Aguero Nolito-----

In the unlikely event we secure the title with a few games to spare I vote we start Sagna up top every game until he scores for us. Probably his last season here.
