Here is the place to talk about all things city and football!

First home game. And it's our old 'friends' from north London. Somehow they seem to have had Peps number recently, as much as anyone has, and this is a perfect opportunity to get another three points.
Wonder if talks will resume after the game regarding Savinho? Rodri apparently is fit again though I'd be tempted to keep the same midfield as at Wolves. Not heard about Foden and I assume Ederson isn't still ill. Though surely Trafford keeps his jersey?
Fancy Haaland to score against
3-0 Haaland (2) Silva

Pep said Rodri and Phil are available but not ederson from what I read earlier.
I think without Kane or son their mindest won't be the same. That said that Richarlison had a good game last week, I fucking hate him and ee need to isolate him by any means tomorrow. Good also that Maddison is out, another one that liked to raise their game against us.
I reckon a solid game and we win 2-0

Start the same team as last week.
No need to rest anyone.
Would potentially try to get Cherki or Foden in for Doku and move the forwards around a bit but thats because I personally don't rate him.
But in general keep a winning team unless forced to change especially this early on.

Agreed. Would like to see Stones and Dias as the CB pairing again.
Like you say, would be bothered if Doku dropped to the bench for either Cherki, Phil or Marmoush

That side will take some beating, and to think we have Rodri and Foden in the wings and an unchanged back four, wow !! Things are looking up
