That's probably the team we should put out anyway, even without injuries dictating. Strong, physical players who can cope with being hacked at by the Hanley Arms first eleven.

Negredo

Think Negredo will get the nod, he's more mobile than Dzeko, in better form, and seems to have the appetite for the fight, plus I think he will complement Aguero far more.
Leave Navas on the bench until 2nd half, his style will have far more of an impact when the opposition have set up for Milner on the right.
I'd like to see Rodwell too, and it makes sense to play him, in this, more physical encounter at Stoke

hopefully stoke will not be as physical as years gone by. Hughes is trying to get them to keep the ball & pass it on the deck. Better for us if that is the case.
