Romero training with man group maybe available ? No sign of Tanganga. Looks like Austin is No 3

My guess from squad of 31 I currently have.

Lloris
Doherty Dier Rodon Reguilon
Dele Hojbjerg Lo celso
Bergwijn Son Lucas

subs: Gollini Romero Davies Aurier Skipp Ndombele Sessegnon Gil Kane

not used: Austin Sanchez Ccv Tanganga Sissoko Winks White John Devine Clarke Scarlett

Tanganga would start but think injured. Skipp lo celso is a toss up not sure. Got Sessegnon as an attacker as bit light on options. Sanchez Winks Sissoko would be the obvious interesting omissions.

Just one prediction- it’ll be our weakest first day starting XI for several years

but who cares there are 17 days left in the window ?

Lloris,
Aurier, Dier, Sanchez, Reggy
Hojbjerg, Lo Celso, Alli
Lucas, Sonny, Bergy.
Best time to play City in all honesty. Get it out way, get Kane done one way or the other. Get players in.

I hope Kane's nowhere near the place. Quite a few seem to want to vent their anger at him from the stands, but I think that's very counter-productive to us getting the right deal. A toxic reception will make City think we have to accept a crap offer. He's nowhere near fit anyway and certainly doesn't deserve to be considered.

Edit; Oh, and he's usually shit at the start of the season too.

No better time to play them. Kane will play some part.

Yep, they have injuries to key players and a chunk of their International players have yet to feature in preseason. I would be surprised if the play a weakened line up like the did against Leicester last week. Even if their stars do play they’re going to be short of match practice. We could get a positive result out of this game if we get our line up right.

Line up: Aurier for Tanganga if he’s injured.

edit - changed the strip colour for the over sensitive wet the bed brigade

Hope Kane is nowhere near the squad, and I hope it’s made clear that it’s because we want to reward and push players who want to be here and have shown professionalism throughout pre-season, with some even returning early.

Lloris
Tanganga Romero Rodon Reguilon
Hojbjerg Skipp Lo Celso
Lucas Son Bergwijn

This is what i’d pick but I reckon Dier and Alli will be chosen ahead of Lo Celso and Rodon unfortunately.

Moura Kane Son

There is simply no way Kane starts.

(a) He wants to play for our opponents.
(b) He only had his first training session yesterday and is nowhere near match fit.
(c) He turned up late for pre-season training, and if Nuno will not pick Ndombele for pre-season friendlies as he is not ready to commit to the tactics then Kane cannot start.

I personally think Nuno should have said in his press conference that Kane is nowhere near fit enough to be considered due to him not yet training with the team (before Friday) and he needs two weeks conditioning to avoid injuries, same as any other first team player.

Gil for Bergwijn and we've got a winner. The plus side with Alli getting picked is he at least offers some height and hold up.
