Crvena Zvezda (H) - Tue 19th Sept, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 20:00 (BST). Live on TNT Sport for those in the UK.

Time to start the defence of our Europeam title.

We've got Forest (H) the Saturday after, so plenty of rest. I think Pep will want to start the group strongly, no complacency or messing about.

No sure on the status of Kovacic, Stones or Grealish.

------------------Ederson
Walker---Akanji---Dias---Ake
--------------------Rodri
---------Nunes---------Foden
Bernardo---Haaland----Doku

I think Alvarez could do with a rest after that game in Bolivia and then the full 90 at West Ham.

Ederson; Akanji Dias Ake Gvardiol; Rodri Nunes; Foden Alvarez Doku; Haaland

Think we might see Lewis at RB, Gvardiol at LCB and Ake on the left. Nunes to start.

 

[Serbianguy]

Crvena Zvezda just lost 2-1 against Cukaricki. That's their second loss in their previous three games (last season they went unbeaten, with 26 wins and 4 draws, so this is very unusual). They look disjointed and lost.

As I already said in the CL group thread, I think you'll easily beat them anyway, and considering their poor form recently, I'd be surpised with anything other than a convincing City win.

Ortega
Lewis
Akanji
Gvardiol
Ake
Nunes
Foden
Bernardo Silva
Doku
Alvarez
Haaland

Don´t really care what the line-up will be ,we should beat them anyway at home.Going for 4:0

 

[Mr Blue Moon]

[Gigant]

Oretga
Lewis
Ake
Akanji
Gomez
Phillips
Nunes
Foden

[Blue and true]

Give Nunes the full ninety and start Rico.

This should be a comfortable win.
