Donnarumma, Khusanov, Dias (C), Gvardiol, O'Reilly, Anderson, Guéhi, Foden, Cherki, Semenyo, Haaland.

Subs: Rulli, Kovačić, Aït-Nouri, Reis, Echeverri, Bouaddi, McAidoo, Braithwaite, Lewis.

Very youthful bench.

I predict another difficult game for us, we need much more time and a stronger midfield.

Bound to be discounted, until we get the transfer window over and all players in and working together.

Still I'll be positive (eyes closed, fingers crossed & hoping for a hammy goal or two for us) and predict
 
3 1 City win.

I'll take 3 points in this game by any means possible. The points are all that matters and too early to judge Enzo and the team. Give them a few months to gel.

I feel for Nico, seemed like a really good lad. He was never given a chance by Pep. I think there is a very good footballer in him, but it won't be for us now.

EUFA are preparing a criminal case against Infantino.
