i read all the posts. Most of you seem very pesimistic about this game. I say play best XI available then then make some rotations vs Leeds. I expect Arsenal to drop points vs Chelsea. Halaand must start he will get a brace.

Certainly wouldn't be starting Mahrez. Was poor today and no fight in him whatsoever. He usually ok when things are going in our favour but when the going gets tough, he just doesn't want to know.

A bit harsh, it was a narrow pitch, he loves the width that he gets at City (and Wembley)

 

[Keeper!]

3 points needed by hook or by crook.

Performances irrelevant now.

Rodri needs a break but the thought of starting Phillips makes me cringe

Robinson bottled him up all game, he looks a good prospect.

Strong,quick,athletic,2 good feet.

The answer is simple. Play Johnny Stones and give Rodri a well earned rest.

Play Ortega ,Ederson needs benching for his slapdash showing at Fulham.

Minutes applause on Wednesday against West ham in 23rd minute in remembrance of Marc Vivien Foé to mark the 20th anniversary of his death.

Have asked my friend to mention on radio Manchester on Wednesday to raise awareness and also emailed club to ask them to display photo of him on scoreboard and put something in programme.

Against his former team too so should get whole stadium to do it.
