Doku and Alvarez! NURSE!!!

City to win 6-3. Haaland hatrick, Foden, Alvarez & De Bruyne.

 

[Haaland94]

Today’s confirmed team: Ederson, Walker, Akanji, Dias, Ake, Rodri, De Bruyne, Foden, Doku, Alvarez, Haaland

If fit, I always prefer John Stones and Bernardo in there.

Come On City!!!

I’m working my last night shift tonight, don’t want to be there all depressed and that.

I see the fanny wipes have been back, dampening down the chances of the in-form world champions - who're playing at home - against the shandy supping Chavs.
3-1 for City; come on you blue-boys!

Do we always have to concede…

Is Ake not out then ?

 

[TrentGrisham]

I like that XI for the most part. My worry is inverting our fullbacks and giving their wingers(Sterling and potentially Jackson these days) that's full of pace, too much space and time when we turn it over. I'd have liked Pep to stick a midfielder full-time next to Rodri to help him defensively. I assume Bernardo is hurt because it's hard to believe he's been benched for Alvarez.

Edit: I see Bernardo IS in the squad... Hmmm.

Pep always find a way to accommodate Akanji in the line up.

 

[Haaland94]

Pep always find a way to accommodate Akanji in the line up.

I can only assume John Stones is not 100% fit. Otherwise, it makes no sense.

Shame Bernardo couldn't quite make it, still good enough to tear then apart.
