City XI | City: Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Mangala, Danilo, Delph, De Bruyne, Silva (c), Sterling, Sane, Aguero

Subs | Bravo, Yaya Toure, Gundogan, Fernandinho, Bernardo, Jesus, Kompany

Danilo DM it would appear? Attacking line up to give the Hammers defence a worry.

[CTID Hants]

Zaba has the captains armband for the hammers!

[BlueinBosnia]

A few different players to the line up I'd have predicted - I'd have thought Yaya was a dead cert to start this.

Or Delph maybe?

Delph in Ferdy spot?

Potentially Dan. Who knows where Pep will play them until we actually kick off.

All in the Hammers half except 1

I'm guessing Pep is looking for us to get back to scoring early, Yaya as we know would slow the game down.

Get a couple of early goals then he can bring him on to pass sideways...

[blues-clues]

Kompany dropped? Or just not able to play three games in a week? Assume he wont be going to Shakhtar.

It has the look of a team to get a lead and then swap from bench to give a few a run out before the trip east.

Oh thats just mean .... he's not going to want to remember today (resultwise) I hope

no way he can play 3 games in 1 week. he's being saved for the derby. Pep knows Mangala can't play in the derby.

Isn't Sane one booking away from a ban? If so, I have a horrible feeling we may be without him for the derby

strong possibility considering how petulant he can be. It's a risk but I know why.

correct no diving today Leroy !!!

[john@staustell]

Might not be in the derby masterplan. Unlike Ferdy

[stevefromdonny]

COME ON CITY

[Chinners]

hmmm WHU playing with a back 5, might have to change my meagre 2-0 prediction now as it looks like we will be camping in their half!

It’s absolutely pathetic. I was sick of turning up at COMS every week for whoever we were playing to just play anti-football shite. One reason I gave up my season ticket.

[Burt]

Listening to John Stones. What an intelligent young chap he is. Far better than listening to thick twats like Scholes, Ferdinand and Owen!

[PeterParker]

Do we really affort to play Delph that much?

[Original Dub]

Stone wall?
