We'll be ripped aapart with a diamond, and although I want us to move to a 4231 more permanently, I don't think this is the game for it. I don't think we can get away with a back four against them, and we seemed to have abandoned 3421, so it wouldn't be surprised if we go with a 532. It worked very well away to City last year and was our best performance there in years.

Id love to go 4231 but im not sure we are ready right now against this city side. If the new recruits were more upto speed and we had son AND alli thsn maybe but were not there yet. Id keep the cm area nice and beefy and look to supply kane and moura.

Id personally prefer aurier rb if possible. Hes much better coping with 1v1 confrontations. Should have a decent bench too if alli and Gio make it.

Walker-Peters, Ndombele, Dier, Sessegnon

Can become 442, 433, 4231, 4222, and 4141 without any subs.

Think we need to fit in Sissoko in the team, for his overall physicality and non-stop work rate.

I don't think we'll physically fight off City by having one player with a little bit of brute force. As per usual when facing City, I think we need to catch them off guard by springing a surprise on them, not by choosing to do the exact thing Pepito is preparing the team for.

Let’s see. He got a lot of praise against Villa, but let’s be honest it was a home game against a newly promoted side. This is gonna be his first REAL test. Will he step up or not..

Sissoko and Tanguy to make big runs on a counter and feeding Eriksen in the last third who spots the final ball for H or Lucas.

I'm inclined to agree - he was dominating the midfield in the CL quarter-final 2nd leg before he got injured. What a change in CM from last season though!

Bit out there but I'd go for this. Using the away game last season (where we should have taken something from the game) as a template.

Sanchez
Vertonghen
Sissoko
Ndombele
Winks
Rose
Eriksen (or Lamela/Dele)
Lucas
Kane
Sissoko at RB to deal with Sterling one on one. I like KWP but I don't think he's ready for arguably the most dangerous player in the league.
City away suits Lucas a lot more in a two than Villa's low block. Could be key as Laporte and Stones don't like pace if exposed. Free role for Eriksen/Lamela, disrupting Rodri and being the key target for the ball in transition.
