Pep confirms David Silva will be out for a few weeks. Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Danilo and Aguero are also out tomorrow, but Kun could be back at the weekend.
So it's from
GK: Ederson, Muric
Defence:
Walker, Delph, Kompany, Stones, Laporte, Otamendi, Mangala
Midfield: Bernardo, Gundogan, Foden, Gomes, Bernabe, Zinchenko
Attack: Sterling, Sane, Mahrez, Jesus, Diaz

Ed.
Walker Stones Otter Zink.
Bernie Delph Foden.
Diaz Jesus Mahrez.

Not likely though as Diaz wont be anywhere near the team now and Gundo will probably play...
There is a valid argument to rest Delph for this one as well.

Absolutely there's a valid argument to rest Delph, we need him for the xmas fixtures, keep him well away tomorrow night.

Just got home from Berlin via Manchester Airport , there were loads of Hoffenheim fans arriving and also interestingly fucking hundreds of Napoli fans everywhere .I hope they give the scouse cunts a proper run around tonight on and off the pitch !

Presumably cheaper for them to fly to Manchester and get the train to Scouseland than it is to fly direct to Scouseland. Liverpool generally play at home the same weekends City do so any time I'm flying to Manchester for a game there's a load of Irish Liverpool fans on the flight.

The Irish rags generally do the opposite, fly Scouseland and train to Manchester.

Delph into the middle and get Foden on from the start. Kid could grab a goal in a game like this and it would do him no harm to get on the score sheet.

Time to play a C team here like that fa cup game against Chelsea a few years ago.

Is Diaz pretty gone ? Did he really have a Madrid hat on ?

Regardless I'd play him, we only have 15 players and he should still be motivated to play.

Really hope that if we truly only have 15 players that we don’t just have four on the bench. At the very least have three lads from the Academy on there. To all intents and purposes the game is a dead rubber. Should we actually be winning comfortably then giving one of them a taster is a no brainer

Really strong outfit. Hope it’s not unnecessarily so. Fancy Foden to play well tonight and maybe bag a goal
