I am guessing that Pep will want to rest some key players for the Chelsea game also I would be surprised to see young Zinch play given his recent nose reshaping.
I can't see Aguero being risked and Danilo played well enough to retain his place.
Laporte, Sterling and Fernandinho are crucial to the way we play and I suspect Pep may take the gamble to rest them.
Heartbreaking that whenever I try to pick a team i find it harder and harder to find a justification for Kompany's inclusion.

--------------------Ederson-------------------
Danilo------Stones------Otto-------Delph
---------------------Gundo--------------------
---------Bernardo---------- Silva------------
Mahrez------------Jesus-------------- Sane

I don't think Pep will be resting anyone mate, we need to win this game, then he will think about the Chelsea game Wednesday onwards, that's how he works, no easy games in the league.

Subs are there to change the game as well,it didn't do Dzeko's stats any harm...

Can you apply that to this season? How many games has Gabby been used in an attempt to ‘change the game’? We’ve been behind for about 7 minutes all season.

Think it'll be something like:

Ederson
Walker
Laporte
Stones
Delph
Fern
Silva
Other Silva
Mahrez
Sane
Jesus

I'm not sure where he'll play along the front line but think Mahrez will start. Could also see Gundogan in midfield and/or Otamendi playing (with Laporte getting a rest)

Any sub is brought on to change the game or see it out by getting another goal as in the last one,we don't have to be behind
Enough now,back to this match

You’re really reaching here aren’t you? Jesus’s goal record is better than most, our win record with him playing is extraordinary.

If you don’t understand why being a sub in this current City is likely going to affect goals, then there’s not much to say.

There’s zero reason to have any concerns with Jesus starting. Not in terms of history any way.

His goal record in the prem this season is 1,i said hours ago he needs to start scoring,it hardly warranted hours of debate

And I agreed, to start scoring, he needs to be playing games.

For some reason, you don’t seem to except this.

Is this true? Amazing stat if so.
