I think this is one game where Pep should tell them to defend deep and not push way up the field. Don't leave space in behind for Vardy and co to run into and their game plan goes up the swany!
 
I rarely post which team I would like but I'm making an exception for Leicester because I am sick of us trying to walk the ball into the net and also having a keeper who worries me!! Yes, yes, yes, I know and have heard all your arguments for a 'sweeper' keeper............... if we want a sweeper keeper I'll buy a brush for him ok? What I want is a keeper who keeps a clean sheet!!
Also let's hope that we have a few shots from more than 2 yards off the goal!! SHOOOOOOTTTT, SHOOOOOOTTT. (yes I'm going away now for a lie down and getting some tablets off matron!!)

Caballero

Sagna
Clichy
Stones

Zaba
Gundogan
Sane

Sterling
Silva
De Bruyne

Kelechi

You do know that our Willy has kept just 2 clean sheets in 12 Premier League appearances since signing for us, right?

2 I think?

Sorry Karen, I edited my post after you quoted me. Squawka is giving me one in 9 for Willy but Transfermarket is giving me 2 in 12.

Thanks,willy's shot stopping is currently better than Bravo's,at least he had a go saving them the other night,don't think we'll be needing great distribution against Foxes
 
I wonder if Gundogan can really play the pivot? If he can i'd go for:

Bravo

zaba - sagna - stones - kolarov

Gundogan

kdb silva


sterling nolito

nacho

if he cant, i'd swap nolito for silva, put gundogan in silvas position and put fernando in the pivot. i did think of putting sane on the left, but im not convinced he's comfortable on the left side tbh.

Nobody seems to mention Kelechi has scored 19 goals and made 7 assists in 1437 minutes of football for the first team.

That means Kelechi is involved in a City goal every 55 minutes and scores on average every 75 minutes he plays. The guys stats are outstanding for someone his age. Imagine if he was English......

And played for the rags ;-)
 
I'd like to see us line up like this:

Bravo

Zabaleta
Sagna
Stones
Kolarov

Fernando
Gundogan

Silva
De Bruyne
Sterling

Iheanacho

Quick nitpick. Bravo isn't, never has been and will never be asked to be a sweeper keeper. In fact Sweeper Keeper isn't really a thing. Neuer and occasionally Lloris come out of goal to make tackles and defend. Bravo is just a keeper who can pass, which isn't the same thing.

If it were up to me I'd see a simple 4231 or 4141 but I expect more like this:

Bravo

Sagna
Stone
Kolarov

Gundogan
Fernando

Sterling
De Bruyne
Silva
Sané

Iheanacho

Another dogged performance like we have seen at palace and Burnley. I also think pep won't be starting with a out and out cf. love to just see us get to a comfortable 2-0 lead seems like every game near enough has been on a knife edge mainly due to us not being able to finish our dinner.

Bravo
Sagna
Stones
Kolarov
Fernando
Yaya
Silva
Nolito
Sterling
Gundo
Kdb

Everybody picks Bravo why? He is uesless on crosses and as a shotstopper. Willy is better and that says something!
