I'd keep Trippier away from the 11 based on current form. He's been dreadful. Livramento is the future for us, he's an obvious top player
Will we get a home draw on Monday? Going by our cup fixtures this season I doubt it,it'll be Villa away or Arsenal /Scousers away
Some positives here - Harlaand just back and gonna be rusty. Wilson still out for us, but who cares? Looks like Willock and Barnes back soon. Easy victory playing at half speed against the red and white ****e, so maybe that'll spur us on to play well against a good team, who knows?
Referee: Chris Kavanagh. (same ref as our last home game - what's that all about ??) Assistants: Simon Bennett, Neil Davies. Fourth official: Tim Robinson. VAR: Peter Bankes. Assistant VAR: Simon Long.
I don't know what to expect. I think the sunderland game will have had a massive impact on our morale, but you never know how City will set up. I could see us getting hammered or winning.
The problem we have with City is that they have one of the best squads ever built in premier league history So that might give them a slight tactical advantage
