Think this is from the embargoed part of the pre-match press conference. First question is - will there be an asterisk on who ever wins the title ? I remember previously there was discussion of how great it is to be champions this year as teams have struggled more than in a normal season due to Covid. Now, that City are likely to win it, the narrative has to change.
Ederson
Walker Stones Dias Cancelo
Rodri
Bernardo Gundogan
Mahrez Foden Jesus
I like Jesus on the wing in this one for his ability to run at TAA and put a huge shift in on him and Salah. Like Madrid, he could snuff out that entire flank. Foden F9 dropping into midfield to relieve pressure and confuse the makeshift cbs. Mahrez>Sterling for me in this one because if there’s one thing we know about him is that he doesn’t lose confidence and he likes to take on the fullback. Mahrez and Jesus running at Robertson and TAA will give them a lot to think about. 2-0 City, Jesus & Rodri
I'm expecting a masterclass this afternoon.I would take a point right now if it was offered.

Be interesting to see the table after the Everton game, at that point we will have played same amount of games as everyone else.Team talk is settled already:
Win today and you go 5 points clear with a game in hand.
