Really hope Demichelis starts. Him and Lescott don't have a good understanding, whereas I personally do rate their other CB in Nastastic.They gonna miss Kompany, Demichelis doesn't look like the real deal

AVBs last game?
Swap paulinho for Capoue and then swap out Capoue for eriksen...then it would be the perfect line up...have a feeling lamela won't start again and he will stick with siggy..wouldn't surprise me if it was sandro dembele ether..Lloris
Walker Dawson Kaboul Vertonghen
Sandro Capoue
Paulinho
Lamela Soldado Townsend
Any squeaks??My only prediction is 30 pages of blather before the game, 90 pages of bluster after the game.
Here?Where have you been @ ArcspacE ?
Need this one going nice and early in order to prepare well
We also need to expose that 2-bob clwonshoe and re-establish our credentials against a team which would be fighting for 4th this season.

toure's a beast, wouldnt be too confident of overpowering them through the middle...your right though that we should line up 4-3-3 and play on the counter...only way i can see us winning here...I think it will be a very similar line-up (or at least, set-up) to that of when we played Arse-anal: 4-3-3
And, I personally think, it may just be the way to go indeed.
In their last 11 games, Man City have started 10 games with 2 strikers.
And I wouldn't bet against against them doing the same again.
A 433 in this case will be a whole different scenario as compared to the Arse-anal defeat.
Last time, we gambled and it didn't work as we liked it to be. It was full power vs full creativity (plus only 1 opposing striker).
Versus City, there won't be such a case.
We may actually succeed in over-powering their midfield with our 3.
Especially with Silva out, this may just work.
City will likely play a 442 .. with the usual Toure-Fernandinho in the middle, and Aguero-Negredo up top, AND except this time it will most likely be Navas and Nasri on the wings.
As long as we put out threat-providing wingers (which I believe Lamela and Townsend should suffice for this), I honestly fancy our chances. Also remember, Kompany is out too, and they haven't quite sorted their GK issue.
Moreover, with Navas playing (and assuming Rose will still be out for one more game) Verts is likely to be turned inside out by Navas' pace and trickey. The 3 in the center will help to neutralize this problem.
All in all ...
With us being away, Sandro being a beast again, AND bearing in mind this current situation, this is a game that should be ours to win ... as long as AVB gets his starting lineup right.
