He is a wiley old bugger,their first team will play

Nah, they play Saints on Tuesday, far more winnable.

Based on Guardiola’s conference, I cannot see Delph, Kompany, or Silva making this one.

Ederson
Walker
Otamendi
Mangala
Danilo
Fernandinho
De Bruyne
Gundogan
Sterling
Aguero
Sane

What's up with Delph?

 

[Hoghead]

So, for a defense that can be 'got at', who have the best defensive record so far this season and have been plagued by injuries all season may well see the return of Kompany and Delph for this match. Stones then returning for Watford. This will leave only Mendy out subject to any of the others not picking up any injuries in the mean time. Gosh it's a worry.

What's up with Delph?

Don’t think he’s trained this week, so there’s only tomorrow for him to declare himself fit. Guardiola suggested that Delph is similar to Kompany in having to determine his fitness to play, so I anticipate Danilo continuing.

I'd be fairly happy with that lineup given the circumstances.

I would start Jesus, otherwise I agree with your prediction.

I agree with the "old" part . . . :)

Martin Tyler was on US radio today and said he'd spoken with some Palace people yesterday after the match and he said they sounded like they would field a much weakened side against us in preparation for Soton later next week. Make of that what you will.

I suspect Palace will make only a couple of changes for this match.
