Why do you bite so easily?

I know, tired so easily taken in, time for bed

Lets keep a clean sheet lads, because we can always nick a goal or two.

Agree. +1

Anybody thinks we should rest Sergio for the Juve game and let Bony run the show tomorrow?

not for me, 3 points in the PL takes priority over CL game.

I think it will be Nasri for Silva. Straight swap.

First time we have 2 games in a week this season, with the miles travelled for Sergio, I wouldn't be at all surprised if Kelechi starts as well.

Otherwise unchanged I would like to think

Hart

Sagna, kompany, mangala, kolarov

Fernandinho, Yaya

Navas, KDB, sterling

Aguero


Another win and another clean sheet hopefully.

0-2
Aguero & Sterling

Swings and round abouts. If we do that and take 3 points its great, if we do that and don't get 3 points people will question why Aguero wasn't on.

Best case scenario for me would be Aguero starting and getting a couple before half time - early sub for Bony.

Personally I have faith in Bony, always rated him at Swansea & said I'd love him at City, whilst he's not as insane as Aguero I would feel no dread seeing him in the starting 11 that I got with Dzeko (sorry, love the guy just didn't rate him as a starter). No matter who starts we'll have a strong 11 & a strong bench.

Another tough game here. Palace will give anyone a good game in this division we need to be switched on or we will come away with nothing. Injuries haven't helped here. However if we do get the result then it's a big three points in the title race.

Nasri for Silva.

KDB on at 65.

I think it's pretty obvious.

I think he key to this game is us scoring first as I think if Palace score first then we fall into their game plan.

If I remember correctly, in this game two seasons ago Manuel had our two fullbacks more reserved because I think he knew Palace's greatest threat came down their wings so I wonder if he will do something similar this time around.

I think Nasri starts because he has impacted in both games he has appeared in recently, the big question for me would be Navas or De Bruyne?

I am just hoping Aguero and Fernadinho are not too jet lagged because those two are absolutey vital to how we play, obviously Sergio is but Fernandinho is so key to allowing Yaya Toure to play his game and making sure our two central defenders don't get themselves into difficult situations.
