Windy forecast in a stadium with no corner stands - southern version of Stoke on a wet Wednesday night with wholegrain flatbreads instead of oatcakes.

it's a weird place, according to wiki that open end car park is a for a cinema also "in 2001, Bishop of Oxford Richard Harries conducted an exorcism after the feeling of a malicious force and the team's loss of thirteen of their first seventeen games at the new stadium was blamed on a gypsy curse placed on the club by a Roma man who had been evicted from the site during construction."

Must take ages for the ball boys to get the ball back.

Pep Guardiola on David Silva's fitness: "David is not ready for tomorrow [vs Oxford]. We will see after that, on Thursday or Friday whether he can train for Leicester, we will see."

Zin in midfield then. Need to keep the newly promoted Foden for the big prem game at the weekend. After all, poor lad has played a lot recently.
 
I would involve Aguero at some point. Jesus played a lot of football. Sterling too.

I saw Sterling with a bandage on his leg. He was training so can't be too serious. Would take opportunity of Aguero's return to ease strain on Sterling / Jesus.

I think I'd play Mendy in midfield too with Mendy overlapping. SOme good signs from Mendy recently. His passing and cross accuracy improving.
 
I would go:

Bravo
Cancelo
Angelino
Garcia
Otamendi
Doyle
Zinchenko
Foden
Mahrez
Bernardo
Bernabé

I suspect that it will be more like:

Bravo
Cancelo
Mendy
Garcia
Otamendi
Rodrigo
Gundogan
Foden
Mahrez
Bernardo
Jesus
