A must win game to keep the 2nd place safe.

I want Dzeko to start but I am not sure if he will be up for it.
 
no need to rotate and play a completely different squad. A few changes here and there to keep some players fresh for the weekend but nothing drastic. I might bring back Micah(if hes finally ready) and give Zaba a rest and maybe play Dzeko, but today it was pretty obvious that we are pretty fresh as a squad, unlike Chelsea who I believe have played 15 more matches this season than we have. Keep Silva off until the weekend and play Nasri again who has finally woken up and started contributing again (people criticized Mancini for telling Nasri to step up, i thought he should have done it sooner). Give Tevez/Aguero a 60min/30 min split. Milner can run forever and Nastasic is 20 he'll be fine. Maybe play Lescott. Maybe rest Barry (my MotM against Chelsea) for Garcia.

------------Hart------------
--rich--nasty--vinny--clichy
-----garcia--yaya----------
--milner----tevez-----nasri
---------dzeko-------------

Go out there, get in their heads by dominating the tempo and winning by 2-3 goals and the cup final should be a breeze.
 
We need to make some changes in the team for this one as we will have a hell of a game next sunday at spurs i will go with

Hart

Richards-Kolo-Lescott-Kolarov


Garcia-Rodwell


Milner-Tevez-Sinclair


Dzeko this team should be more than capable to beat wigan..a 2-0 win will be fine for me

I think we need to make 11 changes as they were out on their feet yesterday.

Struggling to put a team together but maybe:

Hart
Micah
Kolo
Lescott
Kolarov

Garcia
Razak
Rodwell

Silva(if fit, if not, Maicon, Guidetti, Marcos Lopes?)
Sinclair
Dzeko

Struggling really but I think the regulars need a rest regardless of if we end up not winning the game. I'd rather lose this game than the cup final.

Maybe you play 3 at the back like this:

--------------------Hart----------------------

----------Micah-----Kolo-----JoLe-------------

Maicon-------------------------------------AK

--------------------Garcia---------------------

-------------Rodwell------Razak---------------

--------------------Sinclair--------------------

--------------------Dzeko---------------------

Obviously if Silva can make it give him an hour in a 4-3-3 or in that formation drop Razak and stick Sinclair wide.

Either way I think it will be a tough game as Wigan will be buoyant and fighting for survival whilst we'll be playing the B team if we're sensible.

I dont think I'd take it that far, that lineup is brutal. Its been months since half of those players have been in a real match. Micah and Maicon are just coming back. Kolorov hasnt played since Everton away (i think)where he looked terrible. Rodwell and Razak controlling the midfield? Sinclair has only played out on the wing for City, and do you think that midfield group will be able to provide any decent distribution for Dzeko who's not exactly Aguero when it comes to creating his own shot? For me, we cant take this match that lightly.
 
Great opportunity to weaken Wigan mentally so a powerful performance and a victory please. Some will need rested if injured, but few have played in every game this season, thus they should manage three games in a week.
 
With Spurs to come on the weekend I'd be giving the likes of Kolarov, Garcia, Lescott, Dzeko a runout.

We need 15 more points to guarantee 2nd spot regardless of other results so still important to get the win.

Agree 100%. We're not going to catch ManUre, but it's unlikely that anyone can pip us for second, so the FA Cup final is the priority, and the Spurs fixture is the biggest one left on our League schedule.
