If Silva plays we win easy, shouldn't be that way but it is, if he doesn't play we should still win.

--------------Aguero-----------------

If Mangala is fit I'd take him over MDM.
Kolarov has been woeful for too many matches now, would rather lose a little bit of impetus on the left (which he hasn't even provided the last few matches anyway) to have someone who can defend over that side.
KdB putting in a lot of matches recently, could be due a break & go back to what won us the first 5 games up front, but wouldn't argue with him over Navas.

Is Kelechi still injured?

*Zabaleta as against Kolarov. Maybe the latter needs some rest to get back to his early season good form. Plus we'd be facing u*d very soon so why not let's get Zabaleta up to speed as quickly as possible because i'm wary of deploying Kolarov in our tougher games. One just hopes that Zabaleta on the other hand has put a poor last season behind him the way Captain Fantastic so masterfully did

Is Kelechi still injured?

That's what I was thinking. It would be ideal to play Sergio for some confidence building, but to give Nacho a good 30-45 minutes to test him as a replacement when needed. Anyway, I assume he's injured as nobody's included him.

Any win will do.The way we are defending, they will get chances so we need to make sure we take ours.

That will not be good enough for some. Stockport Mackem is hoping for double figures ;-)
