This is one of those games where it depends who shows up. If City show up, the result is a no brained. If United show up and City are not at their best, then the result can go either way. There are always nerves associated with these games, so keeping those in check will also help the players...and fans.
Even after spending over £100M on fullbacks, it is our only weak spot, because they are technically the least quality in the field and Walker and Mendy are both prone to a brain fart, stupid foul, or getting caught ball watching or getting too far upfield when we lose the ball, and United’s only hope is the fast counterattack and the hoof ball up to Fellaini. If we can keep the wings tight and cause them to defend their flanks, rather than attacking ours, that could be springboard for an historic day.
Ederson
Walker
Stones
Laporte (Kompany)
Mendy (Laporte)
Bernardo
Fernandinho
Silva
Mahrez
Aguero
Sterling
