Assuming all trains are on time, etc, I'll be knocking the door down on this place at 10am if anyone else fancies it:

Shocking weather forecast for the first game of the season ffs. Could be off, who knows?

Dry with wind cant see that making a big difference in a bowl shape stadium.

Team picks itself.

Ederson
Zinchenko
Laporte
Stones
Walker
Rodrigo
Silva
De Bruyne
Sterling
Jesus
Bernardo

Subs: Bravo, Otamendi, Angelino, Fernandinho, Gundogan, Mahrez (if available?), Aguero

Cancelo to be given more training sessions before joining the match day squad, unless Angelino is to be in the stand. If Mahrez can’t be selected then Foden is on the bench I assume.

Mad that Mendy, Cancelo, Foden and Sané would be outside of the match day squad in the above case! That is some depth.

Come on City!

May give that a try over the weekend. Heading down now for the Great British Beer Festival at Olympia today, staying 2 nights in Stratford Travelodge so can roll out of bed in time for the match, then doing the Bermondsey crawl post match. Should be safe with Millwall playing away tomorrow!

I agree, the defending Champions should always open the season at home

They are mate.

Don’t expect to see Cancelo bar a few minutes here and there for anywhere upto a month, we can’t just throw players in to our system he needs a few weeks training learning his position before he can start competing for a place in the side.

Would like to see Jesus on the left with Sterling upfront, Jesus is too often anonymous upfront get him more involved on the left and he can go both ways which makes him less predictable than sticking sterling out there who will always cut in and Sterling has superior movement for kdb silva and Bernardo to feed.

Aguero and dinho both need minutes from the bench ahead of spurs game

4-1 sterling and Jesus brace
