Tevez is only fit enough for the bench according to the papers. Silva and Balo picked up knocks and so aren't fit, and supposedly Mancini wants to rest Toure. So I expect:

Hart

Zabs
Kompany
Lescott
Richards

De Jong
Barry
Milner

Kolarov
Dzeko
AJ

Finally eyes and focus is turning to the match we have today - about time too!
I'm hoping the players turn up focused today and that we put our best team out there. A win today and 3rd would be ours to lose so a big game. Mancini should do all he can to highlight the importance of third place.

I'd start with
JH
MR - VK - JL - PZ
NdJ - GB
AJ - YT - DS
CT.
And if the knocks are true;
CT replaced by MB. If both CT & DS are out, ED up front and MB on for DS. And if MB as well is not fit, AJ on the left & SWP on the right.

That's pretty well what I would go for. A little extra legs in the middle with Milner but really the strongest side we can put out and go all out for the win. It's such an important game and I wouldnt want Stoke to have even a hint that they could squeeze a point.

Their heads will likely drop if we can get going and score early.

I am really up for this game btw! Got beers and whisky ready and all. I thought this game would be overshadowed more by the FA Cup win but no, I'm just still buzzing big time and looking for more!
Come on City!!

Why would we rest any players? There's two games left. Full strength please.

I don't think any will be 'rested' but we are carrying injuries after Saturday, no point playing someone if they are carrying a knock and can't do a job.
