Tonights team

...................Hart

Zab.........Vince......Lescott.....Kolarov

..................Fernandinho

.....Navas.........Yaya..........Silva

............Dzeko.........Negredo

Demichelis and Clichy may well start, but that's the way i'd go....who knows   .

That'd be my team as well. Just hope Kolorov is a little more disciplined and doesn't leave Lezza in the shit being up the wrong end of the pitch.

My team too.

Hart
zabaleta kompany demichellis clichy
fernandinho yaya
navas jovetic silva
negredo

wouldnt play dzeko,wont work hard enough off the ball and ive been impressed with jovetic' workrate so far
clichy is a far better defender than kolorov so would play him for that reason

Both valid points Pplf and he may well start with them.

However, if we were 1-0 down with 15 to go, who would you prefer to come on and hope to nab a goal Dzeko or Jovetic?.....personally it's be Jovetic, purely on the reason you stated.

I think the LB position will be dependent on who plays up front.

If Dzeko...I think he'll go with Kolorov.
If Jovetic, Clichy.

Would rather have Lezza though than DeM.....DeM get's caught out of position too much and I'd hate to see Hazard running at him.

I prefer Cliche defensively and Jovetic/Dzeko? one has proved he can score goals while the other has still to do so. Granted Dzeko needs 6 chances to score a goal but his goals record isn't that bad. personally i would take a chance on Jovetic and see how he goes on but Dzeko will get the nod to start though because Jovetic is still short on match practice and has done nothing special in the one match he has played to usurp Dzeko.

Yeah, agree....would be really surprised if he dropped Dzeko.

If he dropped Dzeko for Jovetic, then Edin's confidence will be at Mancini levels.

Wouldn't lose sleep over it,just doesn't do enough for me,far from a team player

At home,I'd probably just favour Demichellis because he will help to preserve the tempo by being able to actually pass the ball whereas I'd use jolean as a safer defender in the tougher aways
