Apparently we are down to the bare bones of the squad. No Laporte as he is suspended but Stones will slot in
Foden, Grealish and KDB are doubtful. I guess one or two of them may make the bench.
We have a decent record v Villa recently and I see no reason why that wont continue

Grealish’s bottle has really gone hasn’t it. He just doesn’t fancy going back to Villa Park.

Has Kevin trained with the squad? I’d be surprised if he makes the bench. Foden might start I suppose.

Just wondered what it was like to bash him. I didn’t like it, going to get a cold shower and go back to adoring him.

Cityline up "leaked on social media" - :
is claimed that Ederson will start in goal as expected.
The back four will consist of Joao Cancelo at right-back, Ruben Dias starting alongside Nathan Ake in the centre of defence, with Oleksandr Zinchenko returning as the left-back.
The midfield gets even more interesting, if the information of CW9_MCFC is to be believed, with a double-pivot of Rodrigo and Fernandinho, spearheaded by Bernardo Silva in a central three.
As for the attacking trio, Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling are set to operate as the wingers, with Gabriel Jesus moving into the central striker or false nine role for the clash against Steven Gerrard's side.
CW9_MCFC also reveals that Ilkay Gundogan, Kyle Walker and John Stones have not made the matchday squad, although the reasons have not been disclosed. Aymeric Laporte is obviously suspended, following his yellow card against West Ham.
Official team news is expected from Manchester City's social channels at around 19:15 UK time on Wednesday night.

If Stones doesn’t play tonight he’ll be getting pelters from me going forward. Sick to death of him not being fit when needed but when England are playing fuckin Crete he’s fully fit.
I’ll reserve judgement until the team is announced.

Pep pretty much said Stones for this one because of Laporte suspension.
I'd like to think the days of wholesale changes at the back are behind us.
Also Fern played a bit at the weekend so would be surprised if he started.
I know we are about to go into our busiest period but if he is going to rest Walker et Al then the mid week game next week which can really rest everyone then.
I wouldn't read much into some random so called itk

Makes sense.
Best thing to do going forward is never stop adoring him

Walker and Stones haven’t travelled with the squad apparently.
