Injured and missing this game: Silva, Kompany, Dzeko, Kolarov
Bearing in mind - Yaya and Fernandinho are both suspended for Bayern in CL on Tuesday, I would leave Fernando on the bench.
Hart
Zabaleta
MDM
Mangala
Clichy
Navas
Yaya
Fernandinho
Milner
Nasri
Aguero
Think we will have to be patient, they will retain possession well and I think it is going to be a grounded out win if we are to get three points. Cannot see us blowing them away unless we get an early goal in the first 10 mins

In that case I would put Milner to the right, leave Navas on the bench, Nasri wide left and put Lampard behind Sergio.

He played today and the Ivory Coast qualified for the finals in Jan-Feb. He has rested him in the past after these games He may throw him in this time tho given he is not on duty against Munich next week.

id like to see Toure and Fernandinho start this weekend and Frank and Fernando (the CM pairing for Munich) rested

That said, I do think we will prevail. 2-0

for me as well but not for Pellegrini. he firmly believes theres a long way to go in the league…and to some extent he's right…and he more than likely believes Munich is a MUST win

Less important is that Alan Durham said he will be there for Talkshite. As we could only get tickets in the CB level 3 (usually East), I might meet him and give him a smack on the nose!

Right hook from you and please stick the boot in for me...for all those hours I endured him and Darren "I support Barnsley and Spurs and MK Dons" Gough whilst sat on the M6.
The thing with VK is he has had a few weeks out and time to rest, we withdrew him from International duty and we know he is back in full training, therefore, if he is in full training he is fit, no need to rest him.
