Pre-match | Man City v Watford - pg1 updated with travel issues

I think he will rotate for this game and play bony upfront instead of Navas.
hopefully he wont change the defense.

Doubt Pellegrini will change anything atm whilst they're getting perfect results. The rotation will come into affect once they're playing twice a week.

This is where we'll see if pellegrini has learnt a lesson from last season or not. Don't underestimate the smaller teams and don't change the lineup for the sake of rotation. I can see the temptation to include Nasri after his goal, Maybe Delph and even Bony but lets keep the same team, win the game and go into the international break top with 100% record.

@MadchesterCity
Clattenburg is the ref if you want to update the OP.

Good read OP. Same starters for me and 4-1 win. Sterling to score first.

Will be tough if, as we all expect, Watford come and look to hit us on the counter.

However, if we play the same team and play with the same high intensity then there should be only one outcome.

An Aguero hat-trick would not surprise me along with a goal for Sterling.

Could be the type of game to give Iheanacho 20 mins if all goes to plan.

Would like to see this but I think he will sub on Bony instead.

If we win it will be ten on the bounce - have we ever done that before?

Agree. If we start taking our early chances, perhaps he can rotate early in the second half.

I can see Pellers making one or two changes to get some match fitness into the likes of Delph, Bony etc. Leaving it until we start 2 games a week will be too late IMO.
