***Champions v Watford Official Match Thread***

[nottsblue]

Carabao Cup tonight

Chance for a few young lads to get a chance and Foden to play himself into match fitness.

It’s on Sky for anyone who is interested

Am sure we will win but it’s anyone’s guess as to what the team selection will be

3-0 Bernie

[Mase]

McAtee doesn’t start I’m not bothering.

McAtee doesn’t start I’m not bothering.

I doubt he will be too if he doesn't get the nod

[stupot]

Pretty sure every squad member who's not had many minutes will start so I reckon Ortega, JWE, Nunes, McAtee, O Reilly, Foden, Grealish. Rico will probably start as he didn't play Sunday and then it's a guess who else. I'd have said some more Academy kids but i think they have a game tonight.

[blues2win]

No chance of risking Kovacic or Gundogan before the Newcastle match.

v hard to predict - will Pep play a bunch of EDS? This is my guess for tonight with Erling & Ikay added to the subs to start v Barcodes
Stefan Ortega;
Rico Lewis, Jahmai Simpson-Pusey, John Stones, Josh Wilson-Esbrand;
Matheus Nunes, Nico O'Reilly, Jacob Wright;
James McAtee, Phil Foden (F/L), Jack Grealish:

Bench: Ederson, Kyle Walker, Manuel Akanji, Rúben Dias, Joško Gvardiol, Mateo Kovačic, Bernardo Silva, Jérémy Doku, Savinho.

City win 4-0​

If Walker doesn't start I am not watching.

[Mase]

If Walker doesn't start I am not watching.

Doesn’t start putting his cock away in public?

[john@staustell]

Does anyone know where this is on Sky? Football on tv app says 412 but no sign of anything there.

I guess there's a red button to be pressed somewhere?

i've got very little interest in this game

Think this is where most are. For me IF Nunes starts he needs to shine same for McAtee. Could be an interesting watch - without knowing the team news

It almost sounds like heresy doesn’t it, but I know what you mean.

[Nickyboy]

16 year old lad making his debut.

[PeterParker]

Are we one up yet?

I remember 11,000 of us home to Wycombe(?) at Maine Rd

We've come a bit far since then. Keep the faith lads
