Everytime Nolito has played 30 mins or more in the PL we have won.

Start him again!

He'll get injured 20 minutes in now you've said that.

I've a feeling he'll go with a back three and play Navas and Sterling as wing backs. Just not sure how this one is going to pan out and I'm hoping that Arsenal have an off day.

As fernandinho is out i really hope Pep will not play yaya in a two man midfield, if he does i can see us getting over ran and ozil picking balls out left, right and centre.
With yaya - 1-3
Without yaya - 3-1
Keep possession and we will win.

If that midfield plays as poorly on Sunday then we will get mullered.Some poor performances last night and with Ilkay out we will struggle to gain any sort of midfield grip against some very good players.

We're missing 3 starters for this game. That's a big miss against a title rival. I fear our run of form against top 6 sides will continue.

 

[BongoCityzen]

I just hope Pep doesn't play 3 at the back. We just don't have the players to play in that system

 

[citymad]

Do not have a good feeling about this one. i reckon Arsenal will give us a footballing lesson in pace and clinical finishing. Playing 3 against Sanchez, Ozil and Walcott will be suicidal.

 

[Kinkladze>Juninho]

Not looking forward to this, and this is the game where Aguero's and Fernandinho's petulance will cost us. I never like to predict anything other than a City win, but given the circumstances I'd take a draw now.
Sanchez v Bravo. Dear god.
