Team for man city.

[Chelsea Pensioner]

Its a 1 am kick off here in Melbourne, so I'll be sitting in the dark by myself trying not to abuse the ref and linesmen too loudly !
Haven't heard a dicky bird about the team so any info would be appreciated.
Nevertheless I fearlessly predict a 1-1 result. Really looking forward to having a real go at them. In the words of Dads Army, they don't like it up em.

 

[GazFormidable]

Courtois

Iva
Cahill
JT
Azpi

Rami
Matic
Fab

Willian
Costa
Hazard

I think that's what we'll play. Too big a game to change the Defence and put Iva or Zouma at Centre Back IMO.

If we play like we have been, pretty open, then i think maybe 2-2 but i do think we'll be more cautious and play a bit like we did last season. If the latter happens we can knick it 1-0!

I think it might be Oscar in place of Willian Gaz! I'll take a 1-1 draw. There won't be many teams grabbing a point up there.

 

[Drogs]

Courtois, Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, JT, Luis, Matic, Fabregas, Ramires, Schurrle/Willian, Hazard, Costa

Is Lamps likely to line up against us?

 

[District Line]

Torn over Matić, haven't been inpressed with him so far.

Is Lamps likely to line up against us?

Highly unlikely
He was dreadful against arsenal

Hart
Zabaleta Kompany Demichellis Kolorov
Milner yaya Fernandinho
Navas Aguero Silva

Would be my guess

Looking forward to this one, I think the PL winner will from these two. Good luck to all, no injuries.

towards end of last season - he looked tired. Maybe league's pace catching up to him?

He is like the only untouchable in our team 11. Which is never good for the player & team.

He needs time on ball. His pace is as good as Mikel - which is no good.
Mikel is his only direct competition which is just sad.

Should have kept van Ginkel or should play some prospect atleast once in a while to keep things fresh.

Courtois, Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, JT, Luis, Matic, Fabregas, Ramires, Schurrle/Willian, Hazard, Costa

Me likes. But, guess Jose would go for super cagey affair and would settle for a point.

Had goons won last week - it would have served as well.
