Burnley vs Man City - LIVE!!!!!

team news in an hour

The team mostly picks itself, but wonder if Laporte will get a 2nd start. 50-50 if David starts.

Sam Lee says “No Stones or David Silva on the City bus” so I guess that awnsers my question.

Left him in my FF team, just in case. Shame, think he may have been the key today.

Just 6 subs?

Yeah that’s strange

Probably correct to give Danilo a game at LB. Not sure he's as good on the ball as Zinchenko, but he's quicker.

Would like Pep to keep Bernardo on the left (on his good foot) and leave Razza on the right. Gundogan needs a big influence on this game. He needs to keep the ball moving quickly.

Gonna be a tough game....but I just have this feeling today that something big will happen. A statement...but by who??

May have been a last minute thing with Stones or Silva....as it's an away game, maybe a last minute thing, but still, you'd have thought Nmecha would have been included....unless he's ill!

I didn't;t expect to see silva today.

Nmecha ill. 

Are we seriously saying we had no-one else available for the bench?

The academy played last night so I can understand not including any of them., but why not put AN Other on the bench to feel what it's like?

Dawg, they may have been about to leave when he declared himself ill.

The youth players would probably be off after last nights game...they'd only be on the bench anyway, so not sure why everyone is getting so irate about it....Esteemed Kompany is apoplectic on Twitter - told him to stop throwing his toys out of the pram. 

Madness. It's one game FFS.

we're not irate, just questioning

Didn't mean you getting irate....

Nmecha could still have sat on the bench for the experience.If he had a dodgy tummy, he could have gone to the bogs

Do we need 7 on the bench? Not really but I still think it was a chance to make a kid feel important and feel the excitement and the atmosphere.

I’d also expect all our kids to go to games to watch.

Gary Neville saying City have bought a wonderful player in Laporte.

Not trained for the past few days....so not sure he could have. He must be ill.

Pep has said that he didn't want EDS players missing out on a full 90 mins last night against Swansea away, just to sit on the bench and not be played.

Yes, I get the whole "he could have had the experience" argument, but who's to say they would be back today from Swansea and most of the one's who could have sat on the bench, train with the 1st team everyday. Make them earn that place....god knows we have enough issues with youth players getting it all too easy these days.

This is a good message from Pep...to get on the bench, you have to earn that place, or he'll go with 6, 5, 4 if needed. We can only play 3 anyway.

Stones nowhere to be seen again also, must be some illness?

Sorry, I thought the EDS game was at home

Why no corner?

What a fucking goal!!

Danillo! his 2nd this season

Ha ha

Aguero should have passed, Sterling in achres of space

Should be a yellow

Greedy bastid serge

Would have been game over

Need at least a 3 goal cushion before I'll relax in this game

Well played Danny

Nice try raz

Good save

So far offside!!!

Lino was in line too

What a goal that would have been

At least cork didn’t scythe him down

Poor from serge. He’s had enough chances

Sergio greedy again, quite comfortable though. Easy 3-0 as they run out of steam.

Aguero selfish again near the end. This is far from over, need to get a few more in.

I really wish Pep would play Bernardo on the left...he gets isolated one-on-one and never takes the player on because he's so left footed.

Vinny look a little nervous today.

Brilliant goal from Danilo, but as I said earlier, this is a game that cries out for Silva.

But he's a striker....I want him to be selfish 'most of the time'.

Ok if he scores, but not if others are in a better position i.e Sterling

Surely only a matter of time now, battering them.

Gundogan, Sterling and Bernardo have been garbage today.

Final passes have been woeful.

Gundogan is no Merlin, another puts it to bed though

Any decent stream?

Kompany has been a mess

Massive save there

Save of the season?
