I'd be happy with either.

*I would have Iheanacho starting but it will 100% not be happening so there's no point in even listing him.

I have to go for a meal with a load of rags at 4pm tomorrow. Oh the humanity.

Put laxatives in their food, the twats.

A back 5 of Hart, Sagna, Kompany, Mangala and Kolarov has played 5 league games so far and conceded no goals. We have to go with the 5.

It's almost certain that KDB, Toure and Fernandinho will start. Navas is in very good form and should start too. Then it's 2 from Sterling, Bony, Iheanacho and Fernando. I'd be tempted to go for Bony and Fernando but it wouldn't surprise me if MP played Sterling instead of Bony and we started without a recognised striker.

Not going to happen. I can't see Pellegrini choosing this of all games to experiment with 3 at the back and no full backs particularly as the rags like to play with width.

That's what I'd do, that back 5, the ferns and yaya (loves a derby so I expect a big performance) navas de bruyne and sterling. Absolutely bricking as always

Yeah I know it won't happen just my team

a lot of debate over zabs and vinnie , i would play both , we lack leaders on the pitch , if we go one down to the scum , i dont think we have the players to take the fight to the rags , with zabs and vinnie they will be vocal and will lead by example with their undoubted commitment and appetite for the battle.

BOOOOM just bagged myself a ticket at the 11th hour. There's no doubt we're the underdog but thats exactly how I like it. Prince Harry to score the winner in the last 10!!!!
