I thought Peronne had gone out on loan?

 

[samuelyeboah]

nice team but i hope it's not akanji coming into midfield

 

[Claytop]

Gvardiol already in for Ake.

 

[christened at st marks]

He really loves Akanji and doesn't trust Cole

 

[phargrave]

Good team considering

 

[Gundoggin]

Our bench is woeful tonight. Great news Ruben is back but we are so lightweight in midfield.

 

[city warrior]

Good starting 11 (except Akanji, I like him as FB, but not as a CB). Curious where Foden and Alvarez will play.

Our bench is non-existant though.

 

[I'm Blue]

I’d make that bench ; )

 

[Haaland94]

Happy with that. 3-0!

Yup. Akanji as pivot, Ake and Palmer on the bench :(
