No build up for City on Sly then?

I was just thinking have they delayed the kick of?!

Yeah it's the right team. The likes of De Bruyne and Aguero were barely moving against Madrid. They're knackered. I think Aguero had started our last 15 matches consecutively? We desperately needed to rest players today.

Totally agree. Was just surprised at the support the team sheet has gotten. Normally, the team sheet splits the fans

The United result has take the pressure off a bit. Think we'll drop points though.

Any word on why De Bruyne isn't on the bench?

This is going to be a hell of a match.. on the edge of my seat already. Glad Leicester held on

Ahh sorry! Yeah, that's true. It's a bonus to have Nasri fit for this one. Barring a recurrence of injury, he will definitely play the full 90 to protect others.

Keeping him wrapped in cotton wool for the RM game, no risk whatsoever I reckon.
