We can have a lot of joy attacking out wide though. A lot of ground for Fernandinho to cover unless stones and kolarov get dragged out wide, as sterling and sane won't want to track back. Going forwards that city team will be lethal
Bravo = dodgy Stones = good but error prone Kolarov = error prone Kompany = amazing when fit and playing well. Dodgy when not Fernandinho = good but error prone
I'm hoping Boufal starts that one. Yeah I know about injuries and if he got crocked in a cup game there would be uproar but he needs to start sometime and it's the perfect opportunity. A confidence builder.
Clasie is the more combative of the two imo, while Hoijberg is the more creative. And this game calls for a bit of in your face aggression.
