[Blue Til Death]

How many times did Liverpool get caught out with the ball over the top to Lookman, The ball was on every single time. As you said it's something we have to watch because when they done it they were getting plenty of bodies in he box.

I agree, that will be their game plan, which is why I hope Stones starts alongside Dias. A nice early goal should settle us, either way it’s a City win for me..

Gundogan played 90 minutes against United and 90 minutes against S'ton. That would be a 3rd game for him in 6 days. He is not likely to start. Kevin was subbed against S'ton, he may start. Another option is a midfield of Rodri, Foden and Bernardo. They played in midfield vs Everton away and did very well.

Rodri will be back in for Gundo. That's almost a dead cert. For the rest? No idea. Good chance that Ederson will start in goal.

Rodri will be back in for Dinho

Good point. He'll be out too.

It will be a fun game this. Fulham won’t sit back and defend and that will give us chances.

Ederson; Cancelo Stones Dias Zinc; Rodri Bernardo Gundogan; Foden De Bruyne Mahrez

lots of teams don’t sit back till they have to play City. Then everything changes out of necescity.

1-3

Really hope they stay up, as it's a great away day. Think we'll be in for a tough game, especially if we're as open as we were on Wednesday night.

Ederson
Cancelo
Stones
Dias
Zinchenko
Rodri
Gundogan
Bernardo
Foden
Mahrez
Jesus

That would be my ideal team. Excellent balance. Possibly KDB for Jesus or Mahrez (if he needs a rest). I certainly wouldn't have KDB in central midfield as it makes it too easy to play through us and reduces Gundogan's effectiveness.

Slightly off topic. With the late 8pm Fulham KO will the squad then fly to Budapest on Sunday after a sleep over in London?
Anyone know the itinerary?
Not much time to recover and plan for Tuesday V Gladbach. Good job we've currently got a fit squad.

That's why we have a sweeper keeper.

Gundogan is due a rest but Pep said he won't be rotating much anymore.
