You guessed you mean.

Without knowing who is fit and who is not, I would go with;

Martinez

Targett
Mings
Konsa
Cash

Dougie
McGinn

Barkley

Grealish
Watkins
El Goalzi

Shame this game never went ahead with the original fixture date when Man City were shit. Seeing their goals yesterday they're probably at their peak right now, unbelievable stuff.

Yes the fuckers have hit top form now and look pretty ominous.

Kick off one hour after presidential inauguration.  The first trumpless football match for 4 years , lets win biggishly.

The Man City CB partnership looks very strong currently. The recent break might have done Watkins the power of good (assuming he avoided covid). We will need Watkins back to his best to have any chance.

Just read the pre-match thread on Blue Moon. It's unlike any other I've read on an opposition forum - respectful, not arrogant, no irrational hatred, no mention of fans' accents, and only one or two calling Grealish a diver - with a couple even contradicting that standpoint. Weird.

Reasonable comments maybe, but imagine you could hear them. They all speak like the bloody Gallaghers.  ;)

Tough game after a Covid break, not sure how the players have recovered from the virus so a 2-1 win to Man C.

Will Aguero be back? Missed the Palace game due to isolating
