Dias of form needs a rest play gvardiol and akanji centre backs ake left walker right but good team.

Might be time for Bobb to shine.

 

[TrentGrisham]

Ederson; Lewis Akanji Dias Gvardiol; Rodri Nunes; Foden Alvarez Doku; Haaland

This is what I'd roll with as well.

Nottingham Forest isn't bad per se but if Lewis isn't trusted at home versus them then I don't see when he's ever going to play. Same situation with Phillips.

Squad is struggling big time now and the bench looks weak!

Hope thats the team. Nunes for kovacic will probably be the change.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

COME ON CITY !!

 

[lionheart]

Hope thats the team. Nunes for kovacic will probably be the change.

Why is nobody picking our best defender, Nathan Ake?

 

[shemnel]

looks like the front 6 is default for this game - Rodri, Nunes, Doku, Alvarez, Foden, Haaland - with Kovacic, KdB, Bernardo, Stones and Grealish out (though i dont know about Grealish for the weekend?)

There might be a surprise inclusion of Lewis pushing up on the right, but to be honest Rodri wont be dropped and Nunes is fresh, so there's legs in there already
