West Brom pre-match thread

PELPELLEGRINI: “Vincent is improving every work. He’s not working with the squad so we’ll see next week how many days more.” #mcfcLEGRINI: “David Silva is out. He has a problem with his ankle. Raheem Sterling and Vincent Kompany are also missing.” #cityvwba #mcfc

PELLEGRINI: “Raheem has a groin muscle problem - he’s started running again but he needs a couple of weeks more.” #mcfc

PELLEGRINI: “Maybe we will make changes to refresh the team but all of the players who are 100% will play.” #cityvwba #mcfc

Just read a strange unbelievable fact - "City have scored 39 home goals this season - highest number in the top flight"
There is some hope for tomorrow .-?

Not that surprising only Spurs have scored one more than us all seasons home and away and they have played a game more.

Silva is out with ankle injury. Probably the one that has been troubling him for years

 

[Silva_Spell]

So no Silva.
Would prefer to give Dinho and KDB as much rest as possible.

--------------------Hart
Zabaleta Otamendi Mangala Kolarov
------------------Fernando
---------Navas Toure Delph Nasri
-------------------Aguero

Caballero, Sagna, Demichelis/Kompany, Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Iheanacho, Bony

Put Delph in alongside Nando and swap Bony or Kelechi for Aguero

Presumably Nasri and Delph will be given game time tomorrow.
I hope for Iheanacho to get a full game, but I fear "Pell" will as usual play Bony instead.
I am also quite concerned he will give Kolarov an outing. Back 4 should IMHO stay the same.

Christ Kolorov and Bony in the same post...I don't like the sound of that!

Hope Silva having an ankle problem is just code for "his ankle is generally fucked and it makes sense to give him a match to rest".

I'm honestly hoping a few youth get on the team sheet. Either or both Garcias could be useful for this one. Especially with David out and Yaya, Delph, and Nasri just coming back. I suspect the senior squad players rightfully start but things could get dicey in the midfield if anyone pulls up injured.

I think Kolarov is a mortal lock to start this one. As is Zabaleta.
