How sad is it Sinclair doesn't even make the team

full strength pretty much for both teams.

Decent side. I am probably alone in this but I would actually prefer Javi to Barry in this one, as Barry has a tendency of giving the ball away in the middle of the pitch 3-5 times a match as of late and Swansea are going to play on the counter. Say what you will of Garcia (I actually think he has improved quite a bit over the course of the season and will continue to do so) but he rarely losses possession, even in tight spaces. If both have generally the same pace and usually play short setup passes to one of Yaya, Silva, or Nasri, I'll take the better holding player every time. And Garcia is a much better header of the ball.

Wise move not to start both Tevez and Sergio.Need to ensure at least ones fit for next Saturday.

Well if he doesn`t start on Tuesday then its really sad.

Really like that lineup. Will be interesting to see where everyone plays. 4-3-3? Yaya Barry Milner mid? Yaya slightly pushed as the most forward..

 

[michael1991]

is that the same line-up as at the swamp apart from aguero for tevez?

Nope. I know it is not a popular opinion here (which I do not really understand, since I spend half of every match yelling about Barry's poor choices). I think he has been a great servant of the club but he has really gone off the boil this season, and especially as of late.
