Same size as most pitches not all, Liverpool for one have a smaller pitch. It's also bigger than their old ground though they should be getting used to that by now.

Does Bravo not need to play the last 4 games for his medal?
5 games rule doesn't apply to GK's. He'll be getting a medal anyway.

Looking forward to this one. Don't want this season to end! West Ham 0 - City 4

Is there really any point though? It's hard to believe he would attach much significance to a medal that he played next to no part in winning. Can't imagine there's much sense of achievement in getting something you've been awarded through being shoehorned into the team out of pity for the last four games of the season. Ederson deserves to play the rest of the games anyway and help get us over the line for the records we're still playing for. I'm sure Bravo's played his part behind the scenes but that's how his contribution ought to be recognised. He got his league cup medal and he definitely earned that, but putting him in for the last four games doesn't really change the role he's played in the league and a guy of his age and with his titles probably wouldn't want it in those circumstances.

The pitch is the same size as every other pitch.
Is it? I thought it was the same size as our one, I.e. big, but not that all pitches were the same size.
From last year, mind:

Easing him in, he will get another 30 minutes hopefullyWill Mendy start? Or another sub appearance?
Will probably rest Kompany, Kev and Raz this time around. The pre match thread will be full of angry fans wondering if Pep has gone mad. We will win by several to nil. The post match thread will be full of joyful fans, especially delighted once again by the performances of Bernard and Good-dog

I could see resting Vinny with his injury history but KDB and Sterling don't need rest.Will probably rest Kompany, Kev and Raz this time around.

Hasn't De Bruyne played in every single league game, and started in all of them except for United? There's only Ederson who has played more minutes for us in the league and De Bruyne played a lot in the cups too. I love watching him play but i think a rest would probably do him good especially with the Summer he has ahead. Plus we have other players who could do with some minutes.

Cant you just give us the 3 points ? Please.

Couldn't agree more. I would certainly play Kev every game and wouldn't advocate resting the players named as a plan myself, but I'm just trying to second guess our maverick, unpredictable, yet brilliant leader. Pretty sure that Kyle, the Otter and Leroy weren't over-fatigued or wanting to be unused subs for the last match and that all three will start at West Ham.
But I do think he will want to give starting positions to Laporte, Gundogan & Bernardo, so wouldn't be surprised if he went:
Ederson
Walker Otamendi Laporte Delph
Fernandinho, Gundogan, D Silva / KDB
Bernardo Jesus Sane
