We will win this one easy, klanfield however will be fun
At least that midfield can run. It’s unbelievable to say this, but that might actually be our best midfield right nowOrtega
Akanji Simpson-Pusey Ake Gvardiol
Nunes O'Reilly
McAtee KDB Grealish
Haaland
Would be my preferred choice as well. Possibly Wright over O’Reilly. Gotta try something new in midfield now. I can’t put into words how bad our midfield of Gundo, Bernardo and Rico were against Spurs. All 3 of them completely invisible, offering less than zero protection for the back 4. Spurs were slicing through our midfield like a hot knife through butterOrtega

I'd swap Ake place with GvardiolThe closer this game gets the more I think we just need to forget about Gundogan and Bernardo in the middle for the rest of the season. Nunes is alright on the ball and works hard - it's only fair he gets a run after the absolute shambles of the last few weeks. The same goes for O'Reilly as well.
Ortega
Walker, Akanji, Ake, Gvardiol
Nunes, O'Reilly
Savinho, De Bruyne, Grealish
Haaland
Don't think it's mistakes as such, people can see he needs a rest before the weekend.Amazing people not putting Gvardiol in there just because he’s made a couple of mistakes! The lads fit and up there with the best prospects in the world. I take it he’s the new scapegoat?
Maybe De Bruyne and Grealish are not match fit but how about starting them to hopefully get some early momentum, a couple of goals FOR (rather than against) - that should remove the nerves in other players minds.Dias is injured and isn’t back until early December (probably the Forest game), Stones went off injured again, De Bruyne isn’t fully match fit yet and I’m not sure Grealish is.
What's one of those?A clean sheet please.
