I reckon this line-up is nailed on

------------------------Bravo--------------------
Sagna----Otamendi-----Stones----Kolarov
--------------------Fernandinho-------------------
Navas-- De Bruyne----Gundogan-----Sterling
----------------------Aguero--------------------------

Bench: Caballero, Zabaleta, Clichy, Fernando, Silva, Sane, Iheanacho

I just drool when I see that match squad.
How can that any combination of those 18 players, led by the best coach in world football, not win the title ??.

+ Nolito on Wednesday of course and looking at the OS training video from yesterday it looks like Garcia will be in there today with Zabba joining Delph,Vinny, Yaya and the other EDS boys on the bus home yesterday.

I think our first team will piss all over them, we'll win 4-0 and Guidolin will get fired.

Going to go a goal up on you there John. 5 - 0 City and we will tear them apart and play some of the most beautiful football we have been playing this past couple of weeks. We haven't fully grown into then new system yet but today we will be firing on all cylinders.

I think this'll be a strange one. By all accounts, Guidolin is a lame duck, but I don't know whether the Swans will come out fighting, or just roll over. They've got Liverpool and Arsenal coming up after us, so there's no point in them resting key players, and since they played a semi-weakened team the other day, I'm expecting a bit more fight from them. Nevertheless, I can't see anything except a win for us.

Said it the other day, I don't think they have the depth of squad and will be putting out pretty much the same team as in the cup. Given that we beat them with effectively what was our second string.

Our team and manager had a birds eye view of them too, taking notes I hope, so if we don't win comfortably then I will be a-fookin-mazed.

My only concern is they know they're on a hiding to nothing and will come 'tooled up' and we end up with some bad injuries.

Let's hope Sergio continues banging them in making the golden boot his own.

Cmon City

I really don't want to let myself be over confident. Swansea are in the enviable position of having a dress rehearsal in midweek to help them prepare. I know the class of personnel for the first 11 will be upgradedoing today, but I think we need to be careful not to be too arrogant

This is what I think and with over 30 years of following the blues not a chance I'm going to be lured into some false sense of security. Typical city are always lurking around a corner ready to jump out on you.

Yes, complacency is our main enemy.

Aguero?

Did the league cup game was included in his 3 match ban?
