Another inconsistent side but again…


…and like Huddersfield, one who can be decent on their day and cause teams issues.


v Southampton

 

Etihad Stadium

Straight to it today as there’s little time.

Predicted line-up, subs and outcome:
(Number correct from starting line-up in the last game: 11/11).

Fluid 4-5-1 / 4-3-3:

____________________Jesus____________________






____Sane___________________________Sterling____


___________D. Silva__________De Bruyne_________

_________________Fernandinho__________________

Delph___________________________________Walker

___________Otamendi_______Kompany___________





___________________Ederson____________________



With there being little time for me as I’ve said; basically, I think we’ll only see a change of striker for this encounter.

Notable absences: John Stones (injured for about another 4-½ weeks) & Benjamin Mendy (continues his rehab following injury/surgery).

Do I agree with Pep’s (predicted) line-up?


Certainly do.

Result? As I’ve already alluded to, The Saints can cause teams problems when they’re ‘on it’. But, as I continue to say of late, we’re playing so very well at the moment (understatement alert!), I think this is another 3 points for us.

Last season’s, corresponding pre-match prediction and result…
Prediction: Win
Result: Draw

Expected weather conditions during the game: Flippin’ freezin’! Clear sky and around 0C.
