[Nigels Tackle]

fancy us to give them a proper hiding today

[City64]

On train from Wigan to city center , sun is out lovely day for a matchday piss up . Fucking thousands of Leeds United wankers in Wigan town center and not a one made a comment when I walked past with my city top adorned in full splendour ........ fucking awesome looked upon like god !

[Saul Goodman]

I hope we see

Aguero
Sterling Silva KDB Bernardo
Fernandinho
Zinchenko Laporte Stones Walker
Ederson

Too early & too big of a match for Rodrigo and Cancelo to start.

Can't argue with that line up.

[Beefymcfc]

I wonder if we'll see Fernandinho at the back and Cancelo at LB?

[CTID Hants]

The line-up to kick-off our @premierleague home campaign!

XI | Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Laporte, Zinchenko, Rodrigo, Gundogan, De Bruyne (C), Sterling, Bernardo, Aguero

Subs | Bravo, Jesus, Silva, Fernandinho, Mahrez, Cancelo, Foden

Interesting to see Gundo getting a start, hopefully he shows his form from the end of last season and not preseason. I also half expected Mahrez to start after last week, but maybe it's tactical decisions specifically for spuds

COME ON CITY!!!

[blues2win]

No surprises except Gundogan for Silva

[Saul Goodman]

Too early for Fernandinho to go from the start I guess.

And I assume we should get used to Silva being rotated far more often now with a healthy KDB & Gundogan and Gundogan not having to be saved as a Fernandinho backup with Rodri in tow now.

[Harry Dowd scored]

No Stones?

[nottsblue]

Stones not even in the squad.

Good enough line up

[Saul Goodman]

No Stones?

Either he's injured or Pep doesn't see the need to have a CB on the bench when he's got Fernandinho on the bench already who can play DF or CB. Two positions for 1 spot on the bench allows Pep to have more attackers on the bench.

[Mase]

The fuckin Otter.

[Mase]

Stones is more injured than Mendy!!

He's injured, thigh injury, but figure you know this by now.

[PrezIke]

Nico gonna get games and can do a job.

I think we will be fine, but sure I prefer Stonesy.

[blues2win]

Stones has a rectus femoris strain so not available. Cue dive into Google!

[PrezIke]

Just walked away from my screen, came back and did I see all of the players wearing a Sane strip?

Darren Fletcher had a rectus leakoris didn't he?

Yes, and it's stupid as hell.
