Bridge, Ireland, Vieira, Zabaleta prolly all available for the derby according to SSN

Can only see Bridge playing out of all them.. Vieira only got games recently because De Jong was one card away from suspension. An Ned is on fire at right back and I think he will get a run out so unless he plays poor I can see Zab on the bench this weekend though it is hard to call..

Bridge and ireland, hope they both play, although wouldnt want to change the team from last sunday if im honest

Bridge definately and I actually think that this match will suit Ireland (bein g he is man city born and bred)..he will be up for this.

Vierira is and should be a def NO..he would get raped in midfield by the scum.

Zab -not sure about him although he has played really well against them in the past.

Hmm people say Ireland but hasn't he shown this season coming back from injury is a big no-no for him?? I'm not saying he hasn't got the talent here but everytime he has just come back from injury he has had a really poor game this season and we really don't need that this weekend.

think Carl is right about Ireland, but also agree with Vhero.. might just be a call too soon.
I suppose Bob will be influenced by training performances and take it from there.
Only other thing is that i think City will have the better of the rags whoever we field.. even Vieira.

i would have bridge&Vieira back, but I hope ireland doesnt play! he has never had a good game in a derby.

I wouldn't change anything apart from playing Bridge at left back.

Never change a winning team.

I would like to see Ireland in this match, we need players who will run through walls for the team and the more we have on the pitch the better.

I'd slip Bridge straight back into the team, the rest i would be happy to see on the bench.

Agreed. Only Bridge at left back. Ireland is not up to speed yet.

Bridge would be the only change Mancini would make, if fit. Ned did enough to prove his worth on sunday

Bobby Loves Zabba. Loves him. He'll be selected if fit.
I agree though that Ned is in great form and is a real talent.

Bridge looked decent enough in training yesterday so there's every chance he'll get there.
