Surely there were some priced cheaper for the North stand ?

Nope that was the cheapest.

£46.50 for adults and £26.50 for kids so £146 for 4 tickets not including booking fees. That was in block 137 lower tier North Stand right behind the goal so not great seats.

There were more expensive sections too!
 
PEP All managers today... it’s not just about tactics... it’s many things. We try and convince the players to be stronger in all senses (mentally and physically).

PEP (Our injured players are) all of them getting better. @DeBruyneKev is right now not fit. John Stones is not ready but the other ones are okayPEP @fernandinho is out.,
 
No Kev, Stones or Fernandinho but sounds like everyone else is alright.

If so, good to have Laporte back, although I wouldn't rush him back and hopefully Jesus can get a few more minutes in the Watford/Swansea games.
 
Pep-I am a fan of technology. It’s there to help the referees. UEFA will analyse at the end of the season. The rules need to be as clear a possible but its intention is to help the referees.

Think he's said Laporte won't be risked tomorrow.
 
Kevin de Bruyne misses out after suffering a hamstring injury during Manchester City's win at Bournemouth.

John Stones also limped off last weekend and is a doubt, but Benjamin Mendy and Aymeric Laporte could be fit to return.

Watford pair Kiko Femenia and Sebastian Prodl are available, meaning head coach Javi Gracia has a fully-fit squad.

Femenia missed the win over Leicester through illness and Prodl has recovered from knee and hamstring injuries.
 
I wonder if Vinny will get a run out then, would rather not risk Laporte, unless we are winning comfortably, then bring him on to get a few minutes. Stones still not ready or Ferni.
KDB has never really looked comfortable, at least he will get some rest and fingers crossed be available for the push to the finish.
I would like to see Berni in his position instead, which would make way for Mahrez, who really needs to kickstart his season.
I think Zinch and Danilo should start after their previous performances.
No easy game as Deeny is a handful and gets away with murder, but touch him and he falls over like a toddler.
2-0.

Which is what you'd expect. Shouldn't need to risk him in the Watford, Schalke or Swansea games, not even the Fulham game after the International break.

Just have them all ready for April should be the aim/hope.

Vinny/Otamendi to start this one then?

Would have thought so. With Otamendi suspended for the Schalke game, we are going to need Vinny / Laporte on Tuesday, unless Stones becomes available, or Pep considers using Garcia or Sandler.
Despite his unexpected contract extension, can't play the Mangler on Tuesday even if we wanted to!

What about Leroy?
 
Ederson
Walker Kompany Otamendi Zinchenko
Bernardo Gundagon Silva
Sterling Aguero Sane
 
Did Pep definitely say Ferna was out?! I couldn't quite make out his response to the journalist question.

To me it was like he said "I thought he'd be out for longer"
 
Ederson, Walker, Kompany, Otamendi, Zinchenko, Gundogan, Bernardo, Silva, Sterling, Aguero, Sane
Bench: Muric, Danilo, Mendy, Delph, Foden, Mahrez, Jesus

City 3-1 Watford
 
Now let's just win this game tomorrow without any drama, to show the world that we go on with our business no matter what they try to do.

Pep said regarding De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Laporte and Stones.

“All of them, they are getting better,”

“Aymeric is back, he trained the last two or three days, but I don’t know about tomorrow.

"Fernandinho is out.

“Kevin, right now, is not fit, John Stones is not fit either - but the other ones are okay.”

Doesn't give a lot away does he?
