I believe Pep will rotate heavily for this, only explanation for not fully utilising the bench tonight.

Would not be surprised to see
Stones zinchenko kdb, Torres, Aguero, Fernandinho and mahrez all come in

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Dias
Zinchenko
Fernandinho
Kdb
Gundogan
Torres
Mahrez
Aguero

City will win this one, and comfortably so.

Exactly

I will be shocked if Rodders doesn't start this one I reckon he will be first name on the team sheet. Dawson, Diop, Ogbonna, Rice, Soucek...They are a big side and will look to hurt us from set pieces.
Good team though as much as I love seen Ferny starting I think he'll be starting against Wolves instead.

We can't be talking about the West Ham game when the players still have to train tomorrow.

We can't be talking about training tomorrow when the players still need to sleep tonight.

We can't be talking about sleeping tonight when the players still have to get home.

We can't be talking about getting home when the players still have to get on the plane.

I’m not sure they’ve enough raw pace to hurt us but yeah it might be a hard last 30 mins or so if game not put too bed as we’ll likely be leggy.

 

[Stoned Rose]

West Ham are a **** of a team to play against and have some very tidy players.

Dias will need to shape himself better against Antonio than he did in the reverse fixture.

Tough game but I reckon a 1 goal victory.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Just get it won. And no injuries!
We have to keep this run going.

 

[TonyM]

If twas me... I'd keep our defense and midfield from the last few weeks, bring in a fresh front 3.

------------------- Ederson ----------------
Cancelo Stones Dias Zinchenko
---- Bernardo Rodri Gundogan ---
KDB ---------- Aguero --------- Jesus

Obviously one risk is that the front 3 would be a shambles and the other risk is injuries to the defenders and midfielders. But no risk no gain and I guess that's just what makes me so much better than Pep.

 

[Bluemoonadam]

I'll go for 3 nil to us.
