The season is going to be stupid like that ... players sitting self-isolating for two weeks then not having trained with the team sitting out another game so potentially 2-3 games out ... no wait, we're going at almost two games per week schedule so potentially missing out 4-5 games each time anyone tests positive ... technically if they'd been training with others then those others should be self-isolating too ...

Shambles ... and that 3 subs v 5 subs looks even more stupid now ... Pep was not happy about that either and it's since come out that City was in favour of keeping 5 subs rule for this season at least ...

Of course we were in favour of it. It benefits the clubs with insane depth and disadvantages those without.

Tough decision really, because whilst it would help mitigate fatigue, it also creates an unfair advantage to the bigger teams.

This argument makes no sense. The whole point of the 5 subs rule was to combat the insane fixture congestion which will lead to more injuries unless managers can rotate more by using extra subs.

With only 3 subs, there will be more injuries. Clubs with greater squad depth can cope with those injuries far better. Clubs with small squads will be far more adversely affected by increased levels of injuries to players.
 
So with Garcia and Gundo out

Ederson
Walker Stones Ake Cancelo
KdB Rodri Bernardo
Mahrez Jesus Raheem
 
Wolves are a very generous 5/1 to beat City tonight with bet365. I'd never bet against City but that's higher than I expected. This will be a tough match.
 
Do we know are all the following fit?

Ederson, Steffen, Walker, Cancelo, Mendy, Stones, Otamendi, Ake, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Rodri, Bernardo, KDB, Foden, Mahrez, Sterling, Torres, Jesus.

Ant word on Bernardo? Did he train at all last week. Looks like lots of defenders on the bench but very few attacking options.
