The team selection will be interesting
Keeper
Right back - continue with Nunes or maybe go with Akanji there, or Lewis
Gundogan or Silva
I'd expect Savinho to come in for Doku

So just to be clear, if we lose tonight we still have a chance if we win our last game?

Yes - if we lose tonight a win vs Brugge still would ensure a "top" 24 finish.
 
"Two wins would ensure that City qualify for the play-offs, but one win is likely to be enough.
If City lose in Paris, PSG will leapfrog them in the table and City would need to beat Club Brugge at Etihad Stadium in their final league phase match, as well as potentially needing other results to go their way.
City currently have a 84% chance of reaching the play-offs according to Opta, and PSG's chances stand at 64%.
Opta estimate that City have a 57% chance of reaching the last 16 and PSG 41%.

His form other than 3 months in the treble season has been abysmal. Just off the top of my head i remember Grealish being dragged for Doku against Madrid last season and Doku got us back in to that match and we should have won.

As for Sterling, contributed far more fort City than Grealish ever has. In fact Sterlings last act for us was to help us get back in to the Villa game whilst Grealish couldn't get on the pitch against his old club. Grealish gets about 4 assists a season on that wing so don't know why Haaland looks so excited when he's on the pitch.

When I typed mine, I also remembered that RM match - maybe the fact that we both remembered that single isolated occasion (in the context of top opposition - I already alluded to the fact that Doku is ok against weak opposition) reinforces my opinion?
And I wasn't comparing Grealish to Sterling - merely the parallel between the two relationships...
Assist stats can be misleading - often the killer pass is made earlier in the move, but there are no records kept for this?

Yes, tonight’s result does not mean we can’t make play offs, draw or win, makes it more probable!!??

Doku, hasn’t travelled with the squad, so hopefully Savinho does come in!!?? :0)

And not JG :0(

Not quite right, a loss tonight would only require a win against Brugge if 2 of Real Madrid, Celtic or Dinamo Zagreb get to 10 points. Also Shakhtar, Sparta, Girona and Rb Salazburg not winning their last 2 games.

Otherwise with our superior goal difference (assuming PSG don't batter us) a draw against Brugge may be enough.

We'll know more after these games:
Celtic v Young Boys
Arsenal v Dinamo Zagreb
Real Madrid v RB Salzburg

Villa v Celtic
Dinamo Zagreb v Milan
Brest v Real Madrid

Obviously it would be nice to get more than 1 point but there is a chance we don't need to win again.
