Manchester City V Aston Villa pre match thread

[Gaudino's Perm]

Done his hammy against Hull I believe.

No change from Everton line up Pellers unless injuries force it upon us.

I'd be inclined to go with the Fernandinho for Garcia option, due to Villa's pace, as some people suggested earlier, there may be a few players rather knackered from Saturday too.

However I get your point that not changing a winning team can be a good plan.

We're not in a position to experiment much with formations and personnel. As much as I'm a fan of Jovetic, I don't think he's being introduced to the XI if Aguero can't go. We'll either revert to the 4-5-1 we played before or the manager will play Negredo and Dzeko, IMO.

Would you seriously risk Negredo at this stage of the season when Dzeko is scoring for fun.

 

[Marvin]

Negredo sets a much higher tempo than Dzeko. And he'll be doubly hungry to make an impact to ensure his selection for the Spanish World Cup Squad.

I think there's something else to come from the Beast this season.

 

[Rammyblues]

He likes playing against West Ham, so I am expecting a performance from him then.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Can't see Sergio starting the game. I reckon MP will go with Silva and Dzeko up top with Jimmy and Nasri either side of Yaya and Fern.

 

[manimanc]

We should play nearest to net,fill their box and just long balls for a full 90
Villa will crumble eventually. .

 

[Rammyblues]

If he plays Kolorov which he should do it is his turn then and Aguero doesn't start IMO

Hart
Zab
Komps
Demichelis
Kolorov
Yaya
Fernandhino
Milner
Nasri
Negredo
Dzeko

He won't risk Silva may bring him on for Nasri.
