Has Kevin begun training with the team? If not, Nasri wouldn't be a bad deputy for Silva for the meantime. He was very impressive against Watford with his inside runs

With Silva out hope Pelle doesn't play 4-4-2..............

Nasri or KDB for Silva please, not further changes needed.

Bony is injured! Sergio only got back from the states on Wednesday or Thursday! I think Sergio might start but expect nacho to play a part. I'm hoping kdb is a straight swap for silva.

It's gonna be interesting to see if KDB starts instead of silva. I don't see him threading through balls like Merlin. He'll get in those positions and shoot instead of looking for the pass.

Think Nasri will come in for Silva with Kev on the bench until the second half. Sergio will start unless he's picked up an injury.

I'm pretty certain Bony is fit for today, wouldn't be surprised to see him start with serg on the bench

Would expect it the other way round myself

Aguero only got back yesterday , Juve on Tuesday and I wouldn't risk Aguero for 3 games in a week

Yeah, I think it could go either way. I just have a feeling Sergio's late arrival and Juve round the corner, he might go with Wilf. We'll see later though, not a bad position to be in picking between those two!

 

[Rammy Blue]

I think Sergio will start, with MP hoping that we can get him off after 60 mins for Wilf.

As much as Nasri gets on my tits, I expect him to start with SuperKev on the bench, again getting a run out from about the 60 min mark.
