Trick is for Sane and Walker to drive back their wingbacks. Do that and we can dominate the game overloading the middle with Dinho, Gundo, Silva, KDB.
Leaves us needing pace at the back in Danilo and, hopefully, Kompany. If he hasn't been pencilled in for this one we could struggle no matter what we do, as we saw with Salah vs Ota. I'm sure Willian will start this game for his pace on the counter, but even if it's Pedro he's quick enough to hurt us if 2 of Ota/Stones are back there

I think you can forget Vinnie for this one
 
Right, so we are without Mendy, Kompany and now Sergio. A great test of our depth. 3-0 City, simples.

I am not convinced Aguero would have started against Chelsea regardless. Mendy is a miss but Danilo is a player, I really rate him and we could possibly be more secure at the back with him in. Assuming we have no other "issue" I'm pretty confident the shite we have had this week doesn't change an awful lot for this game. I'm a glass half full type of guy.

Sane and Sterling to come on in the second half to run at a tired Chelsea defence.

Can’t see pep playing without a fast winger.

I think we need to control the game if we're going to limit them to a couple of chances and that midfield is ideal for doing that. If we can't break their defence down then I would bring on Sane and Sterling to give them something completely different to deal with.
 
Still a few questions on team selection tomorrow even without Sergio. Will we go 3-5-2 or 4-3-3. Who plays left back Danilo or Delph? If we play 2 up who plays with Jesus- Sane or Sterling? Do we bring Gundogan in?
