I hope we see

Aguero
Sterling Silva KDB Bernardo
Fernandinho
Zinchenko Laporte Stones Walker
Ederson

Too early & too big of a match for Rodrigo and Cancelo to start.

Can't argue with that line up.

I wonder if we'll see Fernandinho at the back and Cancelo at LB?

Interesting to see Gundo getting a start, hopefully he shows his form from the end of last season and not preseason. I also half expected Mahrez to start after last week, but maybe it's tactical decisions specifically for spuds

COME ON CITY!!!

No surprises except Gundogan for Silva

Too early for Fernandinho to go from the start I guess.

And I assume we should get used to Silva being rotated far more often now with a healthy KDB & Gundogan and Gundogan not having to be saved as a Fernandinho backup with Rodri in tow now.

Either he's injured or Pep doesn't see the need to have a CB on the bench when he's got Fernandinho on the bench already who can play DF or CB. Two positions for 1 spot on the bench allows Pep to have more attackers on the bench.

Stones has a rectus femoris strain so not available. Cue dive into Google!
