I assumed a (very sensible) 4-1-4-1, but **** knows
 
It had better not be 3 at the back against this lot.
 
It will almost certainly be 3-4-3.

I approve of most of the changes. Castagne and Evans were desperately in need of a break. Castagne really showed signs late on at Arsenal that he was running on empty.

However, just hearing that Evans has a back injury and Castagne a hamstring that will keep him out until after the next international break.



Mendy is supposed to have a minor injury so makes sense to leave him out.

I'd have picked Iheanacho and Praet and left out Maddison and Tielemans but I get the line up picked.
 
Has our Sports Science gone out of the window or something?
 
Most clubs have multiple injuries.

We stopped playing in March when the players were verging on the knackered. They are then sent home to train in gardens etc. for months. They then get told to do three weeks training before being asked to play ten matches in five weeks. They then get a short break and back into a shortened preseason. Then into a hectic fixture list with an aburd amount of matches including international/european games.

Frankly, I'm not even slightly surprised at our injury list. It isn't going to improve either. We'll get one or two back and lose three or four others. That will be this season.
 
Plenty of City fans have travelled to Athens to watch the game in bars. Not sure whether that is great or idiotic. I'm a bit jealous.
