XI | Ederson, Stones, Laporte, Ake, Cancelo, Rodrigo, Gundogan (C), Bernardo, Mahrez, De Bruyne, Sterling

SUBS | Steffen, Carson, Jesus, Grealish, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Foden, Egan-Riley, Mbete

Foden left out to accommodate Sterling again .

Deja vu.

Gundogan I think you'll find

Deja vu.

A 21 year old might find it hard to play 2 matches in 6 days Carl. It’s hard work for them at that age you know.

Sterling had a good game at the weekend. Foden didn’t particularly. Sterling on the left though. Ake favoured over Zinchenko.

[Burt]

To be fair, Sterling is in good form and a very fresh Foden against the dippers is not a bad call IMO

Should be a good enough side to win. Sunday's game is more important for my money and the selection reflects that

[Nigels Tackle]

shit team but we’ve got 2 bites at this cherry

[Hazy2]

Good team big week BIG PICTURE!

[blues2win]

That is not a shit team!

Laporte and Ake is a shit combination - it’s been proven to be a shit pairing so why the fuck does Baldie go with it !?

[blues2win]

I imagine Stones will play with Laporte and Ake will play LB. Obviously it would have been better if Walker was available but he’s not.

[Dimples]

Good 'big picture' team selection.
A rested Foden Vs. that Dipper high line makes sense to me.

[PeterParker]

I hope the Ginger Socrates plays as a false nine. That's his best position at the moment, if you ask me.

[sheblue]

Is it stones at RB.

[blues2win]

They’re a decent side and will have their moments. Away goals don’t count double remember.

[nottsblue]

Wouldn't be surprised if it was a back 3 with Cancelo playing further up the field

[blues2win]

I hope it isn’t Stones at RB. Ake and Laporte are both very left sided.

[Outcast]

atmosphere is building in my lounge
just sung “ oh, manchester is wonderful, it’s full of…” at full blast in front of the kids and wife.

It’s a well known Manc anthem and has been sang for over 50000 years so they must already know it by now. It’s a lovely eloquent song.

Just out of curiousity, bit of head scratching, whom are those eloquent posters? You can rule Carl out of that list

[PeterParker]

thank fuck, this is the best thing IMHO. Huge advantage for us.

[Beefymcfc]

Not a bad team, need to see how they’ll line-up.

Come on the Blues!
