Same team again apart from Aguero for Bony
My big criticism of Pelligrini was his constant changing of the back 4 last season. They all played well against WBA, leave them alone.
Hopefully KDB can come on last half hour if he signs. And score. And celebrate like a mad man right in front of Moureen.
 
IF Delph was available, I'd say keep the back four the same, and go with

-------Fernandinho-----Delph------------
Silva----------------Yaya-----------Sterling
-----------------Aguero-------------------

But, looks like he wont be available, so go for the jugular, unchanged team apart from Kun in for Bony.
 
Hart

Sagna
Kompany
Mangala
Kolarov

Dinho
Yaya
God

Sterling
Aguero
Nasri


Can't see Nasri getting a game ahead of Navas, Manuel's golden boy - and to be honest, i think we get a lot defensively from Navas, so surely he'll start him.

I feel a bit sorry for Nasri, as much of a dick as he is, he's a great player, and I can't see him getting much game time, especially if Kev signs.
 
I hope it's a good game and we can show our support for Eva. If she came running towards me wearing those purple medical gloves, well, I, er, let's just leave it there....
 
Hope Navas starts ahead of Nasri. His pace and work rate will be key.
 
The only changes I can see Pelle making is

Zabaleta > Sagna
Aguero > Bony

But both did well so I wouldn't be concerned if it was the same starting XI
 
Maybe it is just me, but I would not be happy to see a mitfield two of Yaya and Fernandinho against Chelsea. As good as Yaya was yesterday, his tracking back was once again not the best. So I would go with

Hart
Zabaleta Kompany Mangala Kolarov
Fernandinho - Fernando
Yaya
Silva Aguero Sterling
