Pre Match Thread | City v Chelsea

[LHarper]

I think Sterling will be on the left because he is exactly the type of player Ivanovic struggles against; diminutive, fast and skillful.

Ayew certainly gave him the run around at the weekend and Sterling played on the left on Monday so it makes sense.

If that's the case then hopefully Sagna puts in another solid performance as he won't get as much protection from Silva as say, Navas gives.

Ffs what? Do you want to see the heat maps from last season?

You won't destroy us :D

I believe it will be a different formation on Sunday, with Navas on the bench and Fernando coming into midfield (depending on if he's available; does anyone know his status?)

Silva will nominally be on the left but will drift inside as usual leaving space for Kolarov to overlap.

Fernandinho and Fernando together should be able to cover and try and prevent us being hit on the break down their right, including diagonal balls from deep.

Tough decision whether to start Aguero and play him for ~60 mins or start with Bony and bring Aguero off the bench. Neither striker is match fit.

Chelsea didn't look particularly impressive against Swansea, even with 11 men, and they certainly don't look as fit as they should be.

It will be a close match but I can see us winning 2-1 or 1-0.

I would like to see the same team as Monday,with sergio coming in for wilf.

Fully expect Chelsea to come and play like a small team again. He thinks City are too potent to go toe to toe with.

No, wouldn't say so either after you lot parked the bus at 2-0 down in the fa cup two seasons ago.

Do you actually enjoy watching Chelsea play? Afternoon sleeping pill comes to mind.

I don't care how we play as long as we win the league.

Yeah but, imagine, winning the league AND playing like us. I highly recommend the David Silva highlights video from the WBA game - 8 mins of magic! Watch a player get hacked to fuck and still not dive and roll around.
Roll on Sunday so we can see him again at his imperious best. If you don't stop him, you are f..ked.
And Aguero's getting fitter by the day!
